Scrimmage: random outlet transition start

This is a 5-on-5 scrimmage drill. One team lines up along the baseline on offense. The opposing team lines up facing them (can be at free-throw line extended or half court). A coach or player initiates the drill with the basketball. How it Works: The ball is passed to one offensive player on the baseline. That player immediately throws the ball to any one of the five players lined up across from them. That receiver must instantly pass the ball back to any offensive player on the baseline. As soon as the second pass is made, the drill becomes a live 5-on-5 transition scrimmage. Everyone sprints into the play, and the offense must organize, space the floor, and flow into their transition offense or early offense actions. The randomness of who receives and returns the ball creates chaos and forces players to react, communicate, and find proper spacing on the fly. Focus Points: Transition spacing and floor balance Reacting to unpredictable ball handlers Communication and role recognition in transition Flowing naturally into early offense Playing with pace and organization under chaos
