This is brilliant. Excellent for player development at any level. Covers a number of concepts in the half-court and gives players space to explore and make decisions.
Check out Phil Pressey’s continuous 3-on-2 shows how simple CLA can be: require a layup or an open shot, then let players find solutions.
✅Bursts provide immediate chances to try again.
✅A clear constraint with problem solving.

Term 4 is underway! Great first session last night working on DHO and PNR reads. Our focus was creating advantages for the offence, giving players space to explore and make decisions. #CoachCasella #playerdevelopment #Basketball
Great podcast. Interesting insights on relocation principles off dribble penetration, the advantages of using the corner as a hub and playing uphill.

Earlier this year I delivered a shooting clinic at the North Adelaide Basketball Club, sharing my shooting philosophy, six shooting drills using the CLA and a coaches Q&A. If your club or school would like a clinic, feel free to get in touch. youtu.be/G4TGbTLwdOM?si=vonX…
Registrations now open! In Term 4 our focus is creating offensive advantages through pick & rolls, dribble hand-offs and off-ball screening. Athletes will develop the skills and decision-making required to read defenders and make effective choices in game situations.
Memorable season for this amazing group of girls, finishing second in the SAJBL U12 Boys B Competition. Such a coachable and connected group 🥈
A few finishing and shooting moments from recent sessions. Using the Constraints Led Approach means players learn to adapt to their environment by finding space, reading defenders and making better decisions. Excited to build on this heading into Term 4.
That’s a wrap for term 3. Players made noticeable improvement in their finishing, shooting and decision making under pressure. #CoachCasella #Playerdevelopment #basketball

The learning and development continues this term with a big focus on finishing and shooting under pressure. Every session uses the Constraints Led Approach (CLA) to help players read the game, adapt faster and make better decisions against defence. Stay tuned for Term 4 details. – at Adelaide, South Australia
Great podcast. Player development plans which are coach lead and player driven are key to achieving successful outcomes. Be interested to learn how other coaches approach this process.

The process:
set clear expectations + strengths → players choose 2-3 measurable goals → create matching standards → apply consequences

We’re back for Term 3. Passing is one of the most underrated skills in basketball, so we’ve added it into our finishing drills to help our athletes improve their ability to pass on time and on target. #Coachcasella #playerdevelopment #Basketball – at Adelaide, South Australia
