Master both sides to the transition game through this inside look at a training camp-style session conducted by Coach Chantal Vallée. This video will give you an array of new ideas as Vallée installs her offensive and defensive strategies to their system for playing in transition. In addition to the overall scheme, you will see how players learn to play offense and defense in the full court with over 10 practice drills.

Transition Offense

Coach Vallée shows how to explode, explore, and exploit the defense using various zones on the court. Breakdown drills such as "Run, Rabbit, Run" will help your players emphasize sprinting down the floor as soon as the rebound is secured.

Learn how to maintain the attack versus defensive strategies trying to stall your fast break in the "Outlet" drill. The "Trailer" drill teaches your players to read the defense to determine whether to score through feeding the post, running into the ball screen, or other options. You will also get to see four drills in the "Flow" series that teach athletes to pass with precision on the run and also capitalize on advantageous numbers on fast breaks.

Transition Defense

You will be hard pressed to find a more detailed explanation for any system of transition defense than what you will see in this training camp. Coach Vallée provides a full description of her defensive approach through whiteboard diagrams, on-court teaching, and player demonstration through breakdown drills and 5-on-5 scrimmage. Her aggressive style will optimize your team's ability to get second chance points through offensive rebounds while also being able to disrupt the other team's fast break.

Learn how the "Short" can chase down "spillage" or hunt the outlet pass to stop the ball from advancing up the court. The "Long Triangles" drill helps players understand how to crowd the floor with proper spacing away from their match-up in the full court. Coach Vallée also shares a great way to control the 5-on-5 competition with the "1 & 1/2" drill.

This video is an incredible value with the opportunity to learn both transition offense and defense from one of the 'rising stars' in basketball coaching in North America!
