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.

Pass, Jump And Set:

Players work in pairs with a ball between them, starting in a squat position. They pass the ball high, jump, and set it to their teammate who repeats this.

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

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.
