We know that our Youth Read & React coaches are pressed for practice time. Many of you are lucky to get two 90-minute practice sessions a week with your team, and are trying to figure out how to put in all the Read & React has to offer during that short amount of time. This video shows how Rick would install Layers 1-6 & 17 with a youth team in one 90-minute practice. He uses demonstrators who are between the ages of 9-12, and establishes the framework for the offense that can easily be built upon in subsequent practices.

In this course Coach Rick Torbett gives you a 90-minute practice plan designed to strengthen the habits of Layer 4 – Dribble Penetration Circle Movement. This layer is built around one action: draw & kick. If you see your team beginning to slip during the season and you need a 90-minute tune-up while saving their legs, this video is for you!

This instructional online course will teach players and coaches what to do and how to do it. All players will be able to benefit from this expert presentation of the most important fundamentals in basketball. There are two important parts of scoring: recognizing a scoring opportunity and then using skills to convert it. Over forty different skills will be presented in this series, in addition to the knowledge that will help players succeed in any situation that can come up! Read & React players will improve after applying these concepts to their game, but so will others, so even if Read & React isn't the way you play the game, be sure to have a look at this important course.

Coach Rick Torbett has developed his Read & React offense to teach players to recognize scoring opportunities and capitalize upon them. Most drills are broken down to teach only one aspect of a given real-game situation. In one step, Read & React teaches an offense by drilling players and teaching movement in response to the the ball, even as it reinforces the skills players need to succeed. Torbett will present the sixteen layers of the Read & React offense as taught by fundamental drills from the Read & React System with added explanations and demonstrations in this online video course. Why teach an offense separately from the skills your players need to win games? Teaching adaptive play principles to the players at the same time that they learn the skills they need is a better way to get results.

In this course, consisting of 64 drills, Rick Torbett will teach you 3-player drills that help build your player's decision making. Even if you're not a Read and React coach, these drills will help in developing passing, cutting, hitting cutters on the move, changing speeds and angles on finishing, being catch ready, feeding the post, ball-handling, and that's just in the first 20 drills! This course was designed by utilizing drills that coaches have told us have worked with their teams in creating great player habits and decision making.

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 (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.

To win a basketball game, you need to score. In order to score, your players need to be able to quickly read the defense, react immediately, and use the most effective move possible for that situation. The Read and React system ties these two man reads into a seamless offense that can be adjusted to any set, formation, type of player, or style of play. Once you’ve mastered the framework, you can customize Read and React to fit your personnel and the style of play your team needs to be successful. The Read and React offense is the best way to do this because it is a principled framework that gives your players the tools they need to anticipate the actions of the defense and respond with the best possible move. It is a system that can be drilled to the point of habit. It’s like jazz; the same rules are used throughout, but the songs always come out a bit differently (and keep the defense guessing). In this course you get 3 hours, 27 minutes of video. You’ll see 28 variations that will add some additional dimensions to your Read & React, and your offense will continue to improve.

The Read & React is the ultimate 2-for-1 offense. Any time one of your players is working on a direct scoring opportunity, your offense will create indirect scoring opportunities. The trick is to make sure your players are looking for it. This video course explores driving opportunities that are inherent in the offense thanks to its spacing, player movement and ball movement. These are situations you can set up in practice and turn into drills so that your players learn what to look for when it's game time and you need to put points on the board.

The post player is an important part of the offense. Two things that usually come up with respect to the post are simply how to get open in the post and how to score in the post when you've got the ball. Read & React uses the post player in a different way - it turns the post player into a play maker, the quarterback of your offense. The post is in the Read & React decision box, and the purpose of this online course is to help the post learn how to make the best decision for the team.

Being able to choose the Next Best Action without the ball has mostly been left to chance. Most of us coaches can recognize a player with a high basketball I.Q. and we’re glad to get them. But how much time do we actually spend, with an organized plan, training everyone on the team to choose a Next Best Action? How much time do we really spend trying to increase our players’ basketball I.Q.? In Read & React Offense, the lane is the decision box. This video course will help you teach your players to make the best decisions without input from the coach.

Read & React is a different way to run an offense. The first half of the Read & React trains the team to control their spacing. The second half contains the ball screen and other advanced offensive tactics like the pick & roll. This is an advanced Read & React course designed to help coaches understand the ball screen and make a decision about whether it is necessary for each team, decide whether the team is skilled enough to use it, and finally help implement the skills needed to integrate ball screens in Read & React.

This 2-part workout series gives coaches the opportunity to learn directly from Rick as he takes them through two 6-week training progressions, for a total of 27 Read & React specific workouts. In each workout, Rick explains the big picture – and – how each new drill links to that big picture. Also, he explains how the new drills link to the previous workout! We’ll then show you enough of each drill for you to get the setup, the rotation, the teaching points, and any player development skills that are relevant. Coaches will receive: —27 New Teaching Videos —A complete Workout Curriculum for offseason Player Development —A PDF of each Workout Plan —Previously recorded Live Chats providing an additional 15+ hours of insight Although each training session is called a “workout” they’re much more than that. Rick’s goal in each session is to accomplish about six things at one time with your players: 1. Teach the Read & React – both the big picture AND the details 2. Teach all of the drills that you will be using during the season and why you do them. 3. Expose your players to the skill sets that they need for the Read & React. 4. If those skill sets are not up to par, then we need to teach those skills. Rick's philosophy is: If you’re on the floor, you need a Player Development component to whatever it is you’re doing. 5. Situational training – during these sessions, Rick will show the players the situations where they APPLY those fundamental skills of player development. 6. Conditioning – lots of reps – confidence comes from high amounts of successful reps. There's no way around it! In each workout, Rick explains the big picture – and – how each new drill links to that big picture. Also, he explains how the new drills link to the previous workout! We’ll then show you enough of each drill for you to get the setup, the rotation, the teaching points, and any player development skills that are relevant.
