# Basketball Transition & Conditioning Drills

Games are won in the seconds after possession changes hands. These drills train the fast break and the fitness to run it — filling lanes, making the right read at speed, and holding technique together when the legs are tired.

## Basketball transition drills

- [11-Man Drill](https://coachboard.app/library/basketball/11-man-drill.md) — Drill: Train the 3-on-2 fast break, the tandem defensive stop, and the instant outlet in one continuous full-court loop that conditions the whole team as it teaches transition both ways.
- [3v2 / 2v1 Transition Drill](https://coachboard.app/library/basketball/transition-3v2-2v1-drill.md) — Drill: Sharpen fast-break decisions with numbers up while training outnumbered defenders and the instant flip to defense in the same continuous rep.
- [17s Conditioning Drill](https://coachboard.app/library/basketball/17s-conditioning-drill.md) — Drill: Build and test game-specific anaerobic conditioning through repeated maximal sideline-to-sideline sprints with hard decelerations and line touches, holding effort as fatigue sets in.
