Setting Drill - Triangle

This setting drill will focus on setting and passing overhead from different angles on the net and passing back to these targets.

Setup

1. Instruct the setter to bet on the net.
2. One target player has a ball one the side of the setter.
3. Another target player starts behind setter with a ball.

Instructions

1. One target player tosses the ball to the setter who sets it back to that target player.
2. Immediately upon returning the first set, the next player tosses the ball to the setter who sets it back to that target player.
3. Continue with this pattern until the setter is comfortable setting along the net as well as back setting.

Variations

• Change the distance and angles of the target players.

Coaching Points

Players must be encouraged to use proper technique when setting the ball such as:

• Moving to the ball before setting
• Feet shoulder width apart or slightly wider with one foot slightly ahead of the other
• Knees bent slightly & weight evenly distributed on the balls of feet
• Hands are cocked in anticipation of the set with your fingers firm and elbows out at a 45 and 90 degree angle.
• When setting use the fingers using the ring and pinkie to stabilize the ball. The more surface area touched the better control.
• Take the set around the forehead and use entire body to push it towards the hitter.
• Follow through with your hands after the ball is released.
