The 3-3-1-3 is not an entirely new concept, though it has become more popular in recent years due to its dynamic attacking nature. In particular, former Chile National Team coach Marcelo Bielsa and former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola have implemented this system with great success. This book explores, in detail, the strengths and weaknesses of the system, the roles and responsibilities of each player in both attack and defense and the permutations of the team shape against different formations and in varying situations. Depending on the circumstances at any one moment of the match in terms of the score, the opponent’s tactics, time remaining etc., the formation could become a 1-3-4-3, a 1-2-3-2-3, or even a 1-5-4-1 in an ultimate defensive setup. This adaptability, the FLEX, is made possible by teaching players to recognize the rotations required "on the fly" by presenting them with very specific game situations in training. In this book, Harrison takes you through his training sessions geared toward developing in players the tactical and spatial awareness necessary to run the FLEX 1-3-3-1-3 successfully.

THE BLOCKER/MOVER OFFENSE PLAYBOOK The Blocker Mover offense was developed by Dick Bennett while at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay and then Washington State University. The Blocker/Mover offense later became more popularized recently by his son, head coach Tony Bennett while at the University of Virginia as they won a national championship primarily using the Blocker/Mover offense. The Blocker/Mover offense is a motion offense that has extensive screening and cutting that has players reading and reacting to how the defense is playing them. Players have defined roles; some are "blockers," and some are "movers." The Movers are primarily scorers. They play all over the court, from side to side and top to bottom. A mover looks for a "blocker" to get a screen, then uses the screen correctly, reads the defense and makes the right cut. The Blockers are smart team players who embrace their primary responsibility of setting good screens for movers. After screening, a blocker may set another screen, or in reading the defense, may shape up to the ball or slip the screen for a pass inside and a lay-up. You will learn all of the screener and mover concepts and details within our Blocker/Mover Playbook.
