Type: Transition

Description:

This drill starts of as a four on four

half court scrimmage.

When the ball is rebounded by the defensive

team, or a basket is scored the defensive team

move straight into offensive transition.

The original offense now go into defensive transition, 

but the player who took the shot must run and touch

the nearest baseline/sideline corner before sprinting 

down court.

This gives the offense a four on three advantage 

until the shooter recovers.

Variations:

This drill can be played with three or five players on each team also.

Points of Emphasis:

1. Defensive team must sprint back past half-court catching up with any men

    ahead of them, or turning and finding a man if they are behind you.

2. Communicate, communicate, communicate!

3. Closest man takes the ball - slow it down!

4. Get in front of the ball!

5. Offense - go at top speed and find the open man.
