I really wish I’d have been hipped to the “Read and React” offense before the start of the girl’s season. Given we’re 11 practices in I don’t think I have enough time to implement the principles. Going forward I’m going to drill this into the head of every team I coach from here until I find something better. Even being this late in the season, I’m going to steal some of the drills and work on them with the girls when I can.
I’m not sure what the entire story behind this is, if a “coach” just created the drills and idea’s to sell some DVD’s or if they have used it and believe in it. At the very least I think it’s a good way to get the concepts of pass and cut, back door cuts…etc into the player’s heads at an early age. If I get on with the Jr. High boys I’ll put this in from the beginning of the year and see how it works out.
