Getting players communicating, bringing energy, and getting comfortable with the ball, feet, and sharing the ball are all things that set the tone for a great workout/practice. Here is a drill that incorporates all of these things and is one of my favorites to start with in my training sessions with players.

The progression of drills is really effective in this Boston College "Fast Break Concepts" video created by Coach Chris Oliver of @BballImmersion. The 4v4 Transition Drill that begins at about the 7:00 mark was one that I thought was particularly useful. The Offense starts with a slight 4 v 2 advantage and seeks to make a pitch ahead pass for a score. Whether the offense misses or makes, the defense will then take the ball back up the court 4v4.

Memphis 3-Player Closeout drill which has many different variations. This version is one we used at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I like it because it emphasizes footwork and fundamentals, and then turns into live play at the end. Tailor it to your defensive philosophy. See More

Drill to work on defensive toughness. Defense must get 3 defensive stops in a row before they are off and a new defensive team can start. Can add that defenses must change defense every possession (zone, man, how they will defend ball screen, double post, etc.). Click for more #PlayerDevelopmentWeek content! See More

This is a progression of drills to build an understaning of all the roles and scoring opportunities in transition offense. By no means will this address decision making, but it is a good way to start to build good tranisition habits. Click for more #PlayerDevelopmentWeek content! See More

I firmly believe that every team should work on defensive closeouts and lateral slides in some way EVERY practice. This drill incorporates both of these skills into one drill. Coaches can set up multiple diamonds on the court. Have each player go 3-4 times then switch with a partner. Make the drill competitive by timing players.

Drill to work on cutting to get open, then attacking the rim on the dribble to finish strong. Vary the finishes and emphasize strong cuts, staying low and being in triple threat position.
