Pace & Space / Read & React Holiday Camp

This camp is designed for serious players focused on game situations, decision-making, and small-sided games. Learn how to play with pace, create space, and react effectively in live scenarios. Get ready to improve your basketball IQ and adapt quickly on the court!

Key Focus Areas:

1. Playing with Pace: Players will learn the importance of speed and tempo in basketball, both in transition and in half-court offense. The camp will focus on quick decision-making, pushing the ball up the floor, and maintaining high energy levels throughout the game. Drills will emphasize fast break situations, quick ball movement, and how to capitalise on early offensive opportunities.
2. Spacing Strategies: Proper spacing is crucial for an effective offense. This camp will teach players how to position themselves on the court to create optimal scoring opportunities and make defenses work harder. Participants will learn how to stretch the defense, utilise spacing to create driving lanes, and use off-ball movement to keep defenders off balance. 
3. Read and React Principles: Players will be introduced to the Read and React offense, a versatile system that emphasises ball movement, spacing, and player movement without the ball. Through drills and situational play, participants will learn to recognise defensive cues and make smart, instinctive decisions that enhance team dynamics.
4. Decision-Making: The camp will focus on developing players’ ability to make quick and effective decisions under pressure. Players will engage in exercises that simulate game situations, teaching them how to choose the best options for passing, cutting, or shooting based on the defense’s actions.
5. Game-Like Drills and Scrimmages: The camp will incorporate game-like drills and scrimmages to reinforce concepts of pace, spacing, and finishing. Players will have the opportunity to apply their skills in competitive situations, receiving feedback from experienced coaches to fine-tune their performance.

By the end of the camp, players will have a deeper understanding of how to play with speed and efficiency, create and utilise space effectively, and finish strong at the basket. This camp is ideal for athletes looking to enhance their offensive skills and develop a modern, dynamic style of play.
