Partner Setting and Overhead Passing Drill

This drill helps players perfect overhead passing and setting form in a controlled environment. It emphasizes clean hand contact, accuracy, and repetition while building confidence through partner work.

This partner setting drill develops clean overhead passing technique, ball control, and consistent setting accuracy. Players focus on form while alternating roles.

• Players: Partners (2 players per ball)
• Equipment: 1 volleyball per pair
• Court Layout: Players stand 10–20 feet apart, facing each other.
• The setter positions closer to the net.
• The thrower stands about 10 feet away, ready to toss consistently.

1. The thrower tosses the ball to the setter.
2. The setter performs an overhead pass (set) back to the thrower.
3. The thrower catches the ball and repeats the toss for controlled reps.
4. Continue for 10–15 sets per round or 60 seconds before switching roles.
5. Repeat with partners alternating as setter and thrower.

• Add movement: The setter takes 2–3 steps laterally or backward before receiving the toss. The thrower adjusts toss location accordingly.
• Challenge accuracy: Place a target zone for the setter to direct the ball consistently.

• Focus on clean hand contact and forming a proper triangle with thumbs and index fingers.
• Emphasize footwork into position before setting.
• Encourage setting with the entire body, not just the hands.
• Common Game Situation: Good hand positioning and control are vital for consistent sets in rallies.
