DESCRIPTION

Players work in pairs and stand across the court from each other. One player starts with the ball and overhand passes the ball high in the air to their teammate.

The teammate then sets the ball in the air above their head, digs it on the way down, and then sets the ball back to their teammate who does the same thing.

COACHING POINTS

During this exercise, the players must adapt from being in a position to set to being in an underhand body position, and this can be done easily with correct footwork. Players must be able to adjust quickly with their arms to go from setting to digging quickly.

When passing underhand, ensure the player looks forward to take a look at their teammate's position.

Overhand Pass and Quarter Turn:

Players work in pairs and stand across the court from each other. One player starts with the ball and overhand passes the ball high in the air.

While the ball is in the air, the player makes a quarter turn and sets again before turning again. The player keeps doing this until they have made a 360 turn, at which point they set to their teammate who does the same.

Sideways Setting:

Players work in pairs and stand across the court from each other. One player starts with the ball and overhand passes the ball high in the air before changing position to stand sideways.

When the ball comes back down, the player sets the ball sideways to their teammate while standing sideways. The recipient then repeats this.
