The two players with balls set to the players opposite them, and switch places with the other player who set the ball. The players opposite meanwhile, set the ball back but stay where they are.

COACHING POINTS

Mirror Setters:

Two players stand in the middle of the court with their backs facing each other. Meanwhile, two players are on the outside of the court, either side of the players in the middle. The ones in the middle set the ball to the outside and then switch places with the other player in the middle, but keep their backs facing each other.

Pass And Run:

Working in pairs, one player passes the ball and runs around their teammate before returning to their original position. The teammate then does the same.

Set Backwards Twice:

Players stand in pairs on each side of the court. The player at the front sets the ball backwards to their teammate and makes a spin so that they are now facing their teammate, who then sets the ball back to the player facing them. This player now sets the ball backwards across the court to the other pair, who do the same thing.
