Read & React Boot Camp: Day 3

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 3 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 introduces the team to the Screening action of cutters, players in the post, and the “counter” to sagging defense: Pin & Skip screens. But first, the team reviews and rehearses. There is no need for a “perfect practice”. Players are going to make mistakes, therefore we encourage the players to coach each other. This allows for less stoppage and more repetition, which speeds up their learning curve.
