Staying Power

Video by MOJO (yougotmojo)

A continuous full-court, small-sided scrimmage rotation with at least three teams: the team at half court challenges whichever team is waiting at either end, and whoever wins a possession — offense by scoring, defense by getting a stop or rebound — immediately pushes the ball to the opposite end to challenge the next team. Keeps players moving constantly between offense, defense, and transition for the full round, with the most total points at the end declared the winner. This drill comes from MOJO (yougotmojo).

A live transition drill: the coach passes to any offensive player on the baseline, and that player's defender must sprint and touch the far baseline before getting back into the play, instantly putting the defense in a numbers disadvantage that can range from 5-on-4 down to 5-on-2 depending on how many defenders get sent. Offense attacks early in transition or flows into the secondary break; defense has to communicate matchups on the scramble back. This drill comes from BreakthroughBBall.

A continuous 3-player, full-court passing and layup drill. The first player outlets off the glass, passes to a teammate sprinting the wing, then follows the pass to fill that spot; the shooter follows the shot to fill the next spot. Everyone rotates through passer, shooter, and rebounder, alternating which side the ball goes to each trip. Coaches emphasize calling out teammates' names on every pass, sprinting the full length of the floor, and taking the ball out of bounds after a make, just like in a game. Swap the layup for a mid-range jumper to make it a shooting-and-conditioning combo drill. This drill comes from Teach Hoops.
