Volleyball Setting Drills
To really master setting, athletes need to take part in volleyball setting drills. These activities help athletes learn the skills of setting and give them a chance to try new techniques and cement their coach’s teachings.
Volleyball setting drills can usually be done with just a few players, sometimes only one. Single-player drills are ideal for when coaches have little time because they do not take much time to set up and begin. Coaches should encourage athletes to complete volleyball setting drills as often as possible.
Stationary Set
In this drill, one athlete stands on a box or other stationary object, acting as the attacker. The setter will receive balls from all directions with the intention of setting to the attacker. Athletes should work on consistency with this drill, always aiming at the spot where the attacker would need the ball.
Set and Sprint
In this drill, setters start on the endline. Several volunteers should be in front of the endline in a horizontal line, spaced evenly. The first volunteer will throw the ball up and the setter must run to it, setting it for a direction determined by the coach. The setter must then run to the next volunteer, who has already thrown the ball up. After setting this ball, the setter continues down the line.
Coaches can determine the length of this drill in several ways. The athletes can either finish a pre-determined number of sets or complete the drill based on time. If the coach is keeping time, the athlete should have 60 seconds to complete as many sets as possible, meaning that when they finish going down the line they will have to sprint to the beginning and start over.
This drill is meant to improve accuracy in setting as well as push the athlete to set properly even with little time. It also works on the cardiovascular health of the athlete by forcing them to keep their heart rate accelerated during the drill.
Overhead Set
This is a simple, single-player drill that athletes can do anywhere, anytime. The setter simply throws the ball up and begins setting it, working on setting directly over their head. As the ball comes back down, the setter sets it again. This drill, though very simple, should be done regularly, with athletes understanding the importance of good technique and consistency.
This drill practices several things: vertical setting, proper setting technique, and consistency. Coaches should inform athletes of the objectives of this drill and encourage them to complete it as often as possible.
