Transition (12-18+ yrs) - 2 players, counter attack exercises
Here is a basic training exercise that focuses on the transition from defence to fast break. Working in pairs, players are required to make defensive movements and engage with their opponent. After 3x contact to each side the pair must transition at speed on the 1st wave counter attack.
Coaches! The outcome of this particular exercise is that your young or inexperienced players learn the importance of quick transition from defence - attack!
