Improving the Representativeness of Transition Drills

  • To make transition drills more representative of game situations, vary the starting positions and depths of players.
  • Instead of lining players up neatly, place them at different distances from the baseline, even off the court.
  • This creates variable spacing, similar to real-game transitions, exposing players to more diverse affordances.
  • By introducing variability, the drill better prepares players for the unpredictable nature of live-game transitions.
  • This approach improves the activity's representativeness and enhances its training value.
