Pactice Plan Summer 2013

Summer 2013

I have three weeks to teach 32 players the Read and React offense to play in the summer league. I split the girls into two groups based on how much of the offense they have been exposed to. Practice group 2 is made of the more experienced players, including my fall travel team.

We practice on Thursday nights. Of the 32 girls, 14 will miss one or both of the first two practices because of other youth sports obligations and two will miss the three practices. (As of July 2, I have two players to have yet to make it to a practice.) I had one make up practice scheduled where I spent two hours on strictly teaching the first 6 Layers of the Read and React.
