Hex Shape Race

The Shape Race is a way of bridging the gap between knowledge of shape, and the ability to get to the correct positions on the field. Players will be challenged to quickly identify what good hex shape should look like for a new disc position, and work as a team to get into good shape as quickly as possible. A competitive element can be added with 14+ players, and a progression can be added so the exercise ends with a point of ultimate starting. Full video available to Training Tier patrons.

Hex Sprint Pattern

The Hex Sprint Pattern focuses on an individual’s speed, agility, and stamina, and it can be done individually or in groups of 2-5. With other players involved, the drill also trains synchronization between a thrower and catcher in a variety of short-quick-pass situations, an individual’s throw’n’go technique, and one long throw/sprint/catch per rep. Full video available for Training Tier patrons.

Dribble Slalom Race

Throw’n’go technique is a key element of good Hex, and is trained directly with the Dribble Slalom drill. 3-5 players take turns to accelerate out of their throws and decelerate into their catches, give-go, and perform basic dribbling by changing direction when the disc is in their hands. Full video available to Training Tier patrons.
