This Building a Championship Transition Defense Course is a series of drills that we use and have consistently helped us develop into an outstanding transition team on a yearly basis. This course contains a clinic video of our transition, a video of drills, and my drill eBook. Developing an excellent transition defense is critical to limiting as many easy baskets as possible. Our goal is to force our opponent to score in the half-court.
We will use 2 of these drills daily at the beginning of practice. These drills create urgency in getting back and stopping the other team from scoring. In essence, we are setting the tone that you will have to earn your points. And although they are of transition focus, there are other important aspects such as rebounding, stopping the ball, and becoming a mentally tough team. These drills will rep the quickness of getting back.
It is my hope that you can find something that you can use in these drills or that it sparks an idea for you. These drills can be modified to fit the needs of your system and the number of players you have.
