Basketball Drills: Transition and Conditioning

By Brian Williams on January 13, 2015

Basketball Drills: Transition and Conditioning

Here are 3 ideas for drills to work on conditioning at the same time that you are working on skill development at a quick game-like pace. All three drills are scored and timed.

The best way for you to implement them with your team is to determine how long your team can go and what type of score you want to set as your standard.

You can always run the drills a few times and tweak them so that they are meaningful to your team.

The videos are You Tube video so make sure that you are on a server that allows You Tube access.

Make sure your sound is on and click the play arrow to see the videos of the drills below.

Yes, Fred Hoiberg is at Nebraska now. The purpose of the post is to offer ideas for drills that might benefit your team’s conditioning while using a basketball to get your running in.

Iowa State 4:15 Drill

The Goal for the drill is 120 in 4 minutes and 15 seconds. You can experiment with the amount of time that you run the drill for and whether you count each basket as 1 or if you want to count 1 for a layup and 2 or 3 for jump shots. Three shots are taken at each end.
