• 2nd Grade

    Posted by CHS_Basketball on January 9, 2019 at 6:27 am

    How young can you begin running read and react? I watched most of the youth read and react videos. Has anyone tried running with kids as young as 2nd grade? Any modifications?

    I’ve been running the read and react for the last 4 years with grades 7-9 and love it.

    Great question! I know of teams that have run it with third graders, so I imagine it would be helpful with second graders. Of course, Layer 1 and possibly Layer 3 is about all they can handle – just enough to give them spacing, and movement of the ball and players.

    If I could delegate rules to the bball community, I would have second and third graders playing 3on3 Read & React.

    Coach Rick,

    Are there any videos of 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 read and react in action?
