Open Read and React Offenses - Specialization for basketball players with regard to position should start in the Train to Compete Stage around age 15 for most players. Most youth have hit Peak Height Velocity (PHV) by that time and have experienced their growth spurts. After PHV you have a better idea of the physical characteristics the athlete will have. That 5'8 player who is the tallest boy on your Major Atom team may remain 5'8' for the rest of his life OR may continue to grow to 6'11". While there are indicators of these physical characteristics we never know for sure until after PHV. Read and React Offenses offer all players the opportunity develop skills and decision making on all areas of the court. Last night we walked through the Rick Torbett Read and React offense which has been recommended by Canada Basketball for youth development. I've watch the video and it is an outstanding teaching tool that I would highly recommend to all of our teams at all age levels. I have provided a link to Rick Torbett clinic where he presents some of the layers and breakdown drills for his read and react offense. I would recommend ALL NT coaches purchase this great basketball offensive tool.
