Hexagon Passing | Sharpen Tempo and Positional Awareness

Overview

• Set up for 10 players
• Run it in a 20m x 20m grid
• Scales up or down from beginners to advanced
• Built for players learning to build through midfield

Objectives

• Groove continuous passing where the ball never stops moving
• Read the space around defenders and get on the move quickly
• Train the central player to set and control the tempo
• Sharpen quick decisions and pinpoint passing

Setup

Six players start on the points of a hexagon with one player in the middle. The outside players feed the central player, who controls and redistributes, keeping a flowing, unbroken passing rhythm going.

1）Put six players on the points of the hexagon and one in the middle

2）One outside player passes in to the central player

3）The central player receives and plays out to a different outside player

4）That outside player takes it and quickly plays it straight back into the middle

5）Keep this flow going so the ball never stops moving

6）Swap the central player out every 1-2 minutes
