Our method
Welcome to Dorset Storm Basketball Club, where innovation and evidence-based coaching converge to create a truly exceptional experience for players. We are proud to offer a coaching approach rooted in the methodologies of a Constraints Led Approach founded on the theory of Ecological Dynamics, ensuring that our players receive the most innovative and effective training available.
By embracing Ecological Dynamics, we recognize that basketball is a sport of dynamic interactions between players, their teammates, opponents, and the ever-changing environment. Our coaching philosophy acknowledges and harnesses these intricate relationships, allowing players to develop a deep understanding of the game's complexity. This approach not only enhances their performance but also cultivates a greater sense of enjoyment and satisfaction on the court.

In addition, our constraints-based approach adds an extra layer of excitement and fun to the game. By manipulating specific constraints within training sessions, we provide players with unique challenges that require them to think on their feet, make quick decisions, and adapt their skills in real-time. This dynamic and adaptable training environment not only keeps players engaged but also fosters creativity, problem-solving, and a deep sense of fulfilment as they overcome challenges and discover new strategies.
