It's been fun watching them grow as players through the system. I am always praised on how well the team plays. We have won many leagues and tournaments and our ball movement and player movement is far advanced to most of our opponents. After watching many local high school games, I have no doubt that our team could play competitively with many of those teams. Being that we practice and play mostly year round I have been able to learn how to teach R&R through trial and error, while having plenty of time to adjust. I also first taught it the way Rick Torbett illustrated in the fist release of R&R. But I found 5th grade girls are not particularly aggressive at attacking the basket. So i put more emphasis on passing and cutting, scoring and spacing. All while developing their skills and cofidence to attack the basket. Eventually the first 5 layers were servicable. But consistancy was lacking. I eventually came to the same realizaton that they needed to be trained using multiple layers in everything we do including warm ups, individual drills and team drills. Lots of reps. But the most important adjustment was really explaining the hows and whys of R&R. I encourage player questions and am constantly pleased with how good the questions are..

A google search will reveal other people's notes and powerpoints. You can definitely get the information without paying Better Basketball if that is your goal. I still wouldn't recommend it, however.

It changed my whole outlook on coaching. And when the Basketology pdf / book become available, the value of your investment will definitely increase.
