Hi Will,

There are some great drills in the Sportplan community that focus on the 1-3-3-1 attack. However, here are some things to focus on when working on it in training:

Support Play: Stress the importance of support play within the 1-3-3-1 formation. Players should understand their roles in providing support to ball carriers, whether it's through running support lines, offering options for offloads, or providing protection at the breakdown.

Communication: Work on communication skills to ensure that players are effectively communicating with each other during the attack. Clear communication is crucial for executing set plays, identifying opportunities, and adjusting tactics on the fly.

Game Simulation: Finish each training session with a game simulation where players can put their skills into practice in a match-like scenario. This allows players to apply what they've learned in a realistic setting and helps them develop their understanding of how to execute the 1-3-3-1 attack effectively under pressure.

I hope this helps.
