Step into this exciting possession-based practice set in a unique hexagon-shaped playing area, designed to sharpen passing and movement. Two teams of 8 players compete, with 5 in the central area and 3 on the outside, supported by 2 neutral floaters. The aim for the possession team is to link up with their floaters and outside players, working together to complete 10 passes and earn a goal. If the defenders win the ball, the roles reverse, and they must now maintain possession using their floaters and outside players. Once players are comfortable, we can introduce rotations after each pass to the outside player encouraging movement, decision-making and timing! 🔥⚽️
