4 Man Transition Drill by Wes Kosel<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Here is a full-court transition drills that I learned from Coach Tommy Jones at Texas Lutheran. For this drill, group your players into 3 categories: point guards, wings, and posts. If you have a 4 who is going to run the trailer spot, have him in the post group so that he can run the floor for this drill. This drill is great to get your players moving quickly and efficiently. No dribbling is allowed, so accurate passing is a must. Also, players must run wide and fast to complete the drill. We used to aim for 5 made lay-ups in 25 seconds. The post players must run hard to catch the ball before it hits the ground.<\/p>\n

The four players start in the lane circling as coach takes a shot. The running lanes shown on the diagram show the wide lanes used by 2 and 3 and the middle section is where the post players will run. On the rebound by 4, he runs out of bounds (make or miss) and inbounds the ball to 1.<\/p>\n

It is important that 1 gets his back to the sideline to then cut towards the middle of the floor when catching the inbounds pass from 4. 1 should catch the ball in stride and move quickly up the floor. Without dribbling, 1 passes to 2 running the right wing. 2 makes the lay-up and 4 quickly runs down the middle of the floor to catch the rebound.<\/p>\n

After the rebounded shot by coach, 4 doesn\u2019t have to step out of bounds to make the pass. He just has to make an accurate pass to 1 as he moves up the floor. The drill continues up and down the court for 25 seconds.<\/p>\n
