Better Setters - Backwards Passing

Create better setters that can pass the ball effectively and accurately wherever they receive the ball on the court.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Pass Short And Long:

Players work in threes with one player in the middle.

A player from the outside sets to the middle player before receiving the ball back. The middle player now turns 180 degrees and the player with the ball passes to the players at the other side of the court.

Players on the outside set the ball once to the middle and then to the other side.

10 Setting Drills

Shuttle Sprint:

Players stand in a line on the sideline, with balls set up on the line opposite.

On the coach's whistle, the player run towards the balls, pick them up and bring them back to the player's starting spot, before running to the other sideline.

From here, they repeat the drill, running to the ball, picking it up and bringing it back with them.

2 Warm Up

Pass And Cross Centre Line:

Two players stand on attack lines at either side of the net, while a third player stands between them at the net.

One of the players at the attack line passes the ball and then receives it back from the player in the middle, who now crosses the centre line, ducking under the net, before doing the same with the other player.

2 Warm Up

Setting Simultaneously:

Players work in pairs and have a ball each. They overhand pass the ball to each other and move to where the ball is passed to set it back.
