Read and React Offense
Oh my goodness, I finally found what I was looking for. 3 years after starting our basketball team, I came across an offense that is so unbelievable I couldn't believe my eyes. Finally an offense that has a couple of rules, that lead to constant movement, and is unscoutable. And though our team is only in 5th grade, we have been scouted before, believe it or not. http://www.betterbasketball.com/, is the website of this offense. At first I tried to get this offense off of youtube, but to no avail. So I approached our team and we all pitched in the $180 it took to buy this great DVD.
This is what is great about this offense. It comes in 20 levels, 1-20. Level one through 5 can be taught and learned effectively by 3rd graders. In those first 5 levels your team will learn 5 or 6 rules, that train them to read and react to the ball. This creates constant movement, cutters, spacing, and synergy. It truly is unbelievable. Now you might ask, why am I telling this to a possible opponent? I really don't know, but I believe that the more we all can learn, the better.
Now this offense can't be learned in one day. But the great news is, its the only offense you will need against any defense. Because of the movement it is perfect against a man defense, but it comes in just as handy against a zone. Players are hard to keep an eye on, and with its unpredictability, someone is always open. Your practice sessions will incorporate the read and react into almost all drills, skeleton offense, and live 3,4,or 5 on 5 drills. In warmups you will wow your opponent with your opening drills. They look so coordinated and smooth. Just today as we warmed up, the best team in our league was on their way home. But they couldn't leave the gym as they just stared at our warm up routine. And we did hear the words "wow this team is really good." It was all in the illusion.
Level one is learning to pass and cut, #2 post pass and cut, #3 dribble at, #4 circle movement dribble penetration, #5 basic post slides dribble penetration, #6 Baseline dribble penetration, #7 Pin and skip, #8 circle reverse, #9 post screens, #10 back screens, #11 multiple screens, #12 ball screens, #13 post pass and cut, #14 corners pass and cut, #15 power dribble, #16 advanced post slides, #17 transition offense, #18 press break, #19 full court trips, #20 flow. Just incredible. Each level works with the next, and each level is just another building block. By the time youre in High School you can master, as a team, all 20.
The basketball season will be coming up before you know it. At Fourth Quarter Sports we are working hard on adding many products, to enable you to be fully ready. http://www.fourthquartersports.com/products/basketball-reversible-jersey-youth-reversible-wicking-game-686.html is just one of our many jerseys.
