Read & React Holiday Camp

This camp is designed to elevate your basketball IQ and finishing skills through an intense focus on the “Read and React” offensive philosophy and finishing techniques. Participants will learn to make quick decisions on the court, read defenses effectively, and react with confidence.

Key focus areas:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Finishing at the Rim: Emphasis will be placed on finishing skills around the basket, including layups, floaters, and other scoring moves. Players will learn various techniques to score effectively against different types of defenders and in various game scenarios, improving their ability to convert scoring opportunities in the paint.
4. Defensive Reads: Understanding how to read defenses is crucial for effective offense. The camp will also cover how to anticipate defensive movements, recognise mismatches, and exploit gaps, helping players to create high-percentage scoring opportunities for themselves and their teammates.
5. Competitive Drills and Scrimmages: Each session will include high-intensity drills and competitive scrimmages to reinforce the skills learned. Players will have the opportunity to apply their new knowledge in live-action scenarios, receiving real-time feedback from experienced coaches.

By the end of this camp, players will have a stronger grasp of the Read and React offense, improved finishing skills, and the confidence to make smart decisions on the court. This camp is ideal for players looking to elevate their game, understand basketball strategy more deeply, and become more versatile, dynamic players.
