Setters are the brains, central nervous system, leaders and the tacticians of the team. Having a strong setter can make the foundation for a great Team. It is our goal to train the individual and essential setter skills, advanced setting skills if athletes are ready as well as the setter/hitter relationship for middle blockers and outside hitters.
We will approximately focus 30-45 minutes or more on individual skills such as:
- Finger position on ball
- Contact and release point of ball in relation to the body
- Proper body position (always being neutral)
- Footwork at the net
- Footwork coming of the net & proper squaring-up techniques
- Jump setting
- Second ball attack – variations
- We will teach proper location for sets – (Location, Location, Location!!!)
