The 3-on-3 – Touch the Baseline Drill adds a physical and mental challenge to standard half-court 3-on-3 play.
One or more defenders must first touch the baseline before recovering to defend, forcing the defense to communicate, rotate, and cover space under pressure.
This constraint creates natural advantages for the offense and sharpens real-game transition reactions.

Initial layout and description
6 players distributed with 2 players on each bottom line, and 2 players in the half court (each attached to a band). As a detail, we will ask always to the player on average that go to make the role of attacker who receives a foot in each half court to not be incurred in the violation of the ‘Ball returned to back track’.
The player of the half court with the ball starts going to his companion of the bottom line (both will be defenders 2 of the 3 defensoress). This will happen to your other fellow defender, located in the band opposite the same bottom-line and run to the other end line (these 3 players have touched the ball first will be the defenders). The last defender passes to the attacker in the line of half-pitch (which is in the band the opposite of the player that initiated the exercise). It is the will to his fellow attacker who is on the other line. The attacker who just pass it will also go running to that bottom line.From that point on, played on a 3×3 taking into account that there is a player from each team who ‘is coming’.
Note: To modulate the difference between counter-attack and transition, we’ll be playing with the days of ‘boot’ of the last defender touches the ball.
- If we want to be more like a transition, the last defender will be out to touch the bottom line of the pair passes the ball to the first attacker located in the half court.
- If we want to be more like a counter-attack, the last defender will come out when the second attacker receives the pass from the first attacker.
- In case you have greater need for adjustment, modularemos the speed calling for the pass that gives you the last defender to the attacker in the half court is:
- chopped to fit more to a transition, or that is
- what more tense as possible so that there is more advantage in space-season for the first attacker that will last attacker.
Rotations
- If we have 6 players, we will make 2 teams of 3 people and will be alternating roles of both teams.
- In case you have 9 players, we can do that:
- Fixed rotation, following the same shifts always.
- The defending team only rotates when you recover the ball.
- The attacking team only rotates when you do not have scored.
- In case you have 12 players, we may use any of the rotations described above.
Variants
- After playing the first 3×3, playing that same 3×3 toward the other basket.
- Restriction number of boats for each player or team.
- Restriction number of passes per team.
- Solve in a certain duration.
- Are to be solved by performing a specific tactical concept.
- You have to solve by pulling from a specific position.
- Are to be solved by performing a certain gesture technician.
Note: all variants are combinable.
