Read & React Boot Camp: Day 1

Coach Rick Torbett is known worldwide for the development of the Read and React Offense, a system for implementing 5-player coordination without the use of set plays. 

In this course, part 1 of a 5-part series, the women's team from Emmanuel College was filmed experiencing the Read and React Offense for the first time. The series covers five consecutive days of two or more hours of practice.

The course teaches from a whole-part-whole perspective and focuses on the cognitive aspect of the system – preparing the team to learn the offense. The team learns the Foundation of the Offense: the first four “Layers” of Passing East-West, Passing North-South, Dribbling East-West, and Dribbling North-South. The practice finishes with a 5-player rehearsal in Full-Court mode.
