3-on-2 Turn the Cone Transition Drill

More drill info for you all to consider, got this one from an Australian drill book. This drill is good for working on transition offense, transition defense, decision making, and conditioning.

Description:

Line the players up in five lines with the one middle and two outside lines being on offense and the other two lines on defense.


All players must sprint around the cone before picking up the ball to play.

Players try to attack the single defender looking to get an easy basket.

Points of Emphasis:

1. Run on the inside of the cone and turn to outside for good spacing between to offensive players
2. Maintain spacing and own area of the court
3. Pass the ball early
4. Point Guard must stay above dotted circle line
