From the community
I love the idea of not playing off of a playbook or a tightly structured attack – BUT to play what is in front of you…training players to make their own decisions.
Very good simple pods explained. Very good work Aaron.
Fantastic series that does a great job illustrating the structure and evolution of 1-3-3-1 through the phases.
Great insight on a new attack formation. Biggest challenge is figuring out where/when backs enter the play. Having backs & forwards wearing different color bids would really clarify who is going where.
Video did not work
Great video and loved your use of the blocks and drone footage + basic video editing.
Traducir al español por favor!!!!
Great way of using such a simple item as wooden block, like the ownership self organisation aspect
Aaron does a great job of showing ‘what’ and ‘how’. Somehow I missed ‘why’. Where can I find ‘why’?
Outstanding series of videos that are clear and concise The concept of blocks as an alternate to a white board is fantastic and invites buy in and creativity from the players
Good visual demonstration of attack structure. I think this is the same concept that Graham Henry tried to illustrate on a white board during the clinic in California, but this is a much clearer way of showing how this kind of structure works. However, even though each position’s role is described, it’s hard to see the numbers on the blocks. I like it when the players move their own position’s block – gets them more involved.
I really liked the different perspectives from the drone, go pro, etc.. Good job editing all the pieces together.
per favore i sottotitoli in inglese o spagnolo. io sono italiano e NoN undestend Inglish. Tanck YOU!
Thanks Coach Jones- I like the clarity provided to the players in just a few words -brief but comprehensive. Also the interactive nature of the session and your blocks -thanks for sharing.
Excellent video on attack structure.
Thought video very insightful and easy to follow and understand – use a 2/3/3 spilt myself but will look at 1/3/3/1 – it is obviously easier to run these attack shapes off line outs and wide scrums with the space outside – would like to see this attack pattern off a mid field scrum
Good job Jonesy.
On point, great to see these various shapes being demonstrated. Look forward to 2-4-2 and maybe 1-3-2-2????
great video.
Great video very useful, when is part 2 available?
I really like the visual, use of blocks, and the manipulative idea. I sense this might help my players better understand any concept you are trying to help them with. Thanks for a great explanation and a great idea.
Very creative Aaron. Can you do a formation where you transition from 1-3-3-1 to 2-4-2 and vice versa? Cheers.
I use bottle caps.
Great simple way to engage even the younglings
that video is amazing
Love the use of blocks, saves me carrying a white board and magnetic numbers, works like a general planning a battle. Really good. Carter Croft.
Great way to engage young players in the thought process around roles and relevance of structure in attack, thanks
