Hexa-Pass

Develop quick passing skills and the fundamental 'pass and move' concept with this dynamic hexagonal passing drill. Six players work together in a continuous cycle of passing and movement, improving court awareness, passing accuracy, and understanding of spacing. The drill duration varies based on player level.

Instructions

  1. 1Position 6 players in a hexagon shape spread out across the floor
  2. 2Have two balls start at opposite positions in the hexagon (players across from each other)
  3. 3On the signal, both players with balls simultaneously pass to the player on their right
  4. 4Immediately after passing, the passer runs to exchange positions with the player across from them
  5. 5The cycle continues: receive, pass right, move across
  6. 6Players continue passing to the right and exchanging positions across
  7. 7Keep the drill moving at a fast pace
  8. 8Continue for a set amount of time based on player level:
  9. 9 Beginner: 30 seconds - 1 minute
  10. 10 Intermediate: 1-2 minutes
  11. 11 Advanced: 2-3 minutes
  12. 12Focus on crisp, accurate passes and quick movement

Pro Tips

  • Make quick, sharp passes - don't hold the ball
  • Pass with your fingertips for better control and accuracy
  • Keep your head up to see the whole hexagon
  • Move immediately after passing - don't wait or watch
  • Run hard when exchanging positions - it builds conditioning
  • Communicate with teammates about timing and position
  • Keep both balls moving at the same pace
  • Maintain proper spacing in the hexagon throughout
  • Focus on catching and passing in one fluid motion
  • Practice different types of passes: chest pass, bounce pass
  • For advanced players, add no-look passes or behind-the-back passes
  • Stay focused and alert - know where the ball is and where you need to be
  • If a pass is dropped, quickly retrieve and continue the drill
