About This Play/Drill

Great transition drill, good for conditioning and decision making on the fly. Team is divided in two groups of six players each (blue - white). Three players from blue team begin the drill by attacking and then running back to defense (defensive transition). Defensive players (white team) pass the ball to their teammates waiting outside the court. So, the flow for each three players sub-group is this: offense and back to defense, then out. Offense has only six seconds to take a shot since getting the ball in backourt. The team scoring five points first wins the set, every basket counts for one, if a shooting foul is commited then one point is awarded. Play to two or three winning sets.

Variations: a) increase offense time to eight seconds and apply early pick and roll or any transition action you like to run.

                  b) make tunrovers count as minus one point, to make players serious about their decision making.

                  c) count game like score and play to 11 points.
