As someone who is new to coaching this site was just what I needed,...

DESCRIPTION

A setter faces the net, while three other players stand facing them with a ball each. These are given numbers and are lined up on the attack line. One of the three calls out their number and passes the ball to the player at the net, who must quickly turn around and set the ball back.

COACHING POINTS

The task of a setter is to recognise the called number to turn around and face the correct player, judge the ball and set it back accurately.

Set And Shuffle:

Two players stand on each side of the court, with two balls between the four players. These two balls should be with players on the same side. 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.

Get Up and Set:

Players start by lying on their back on the baseline. When the coach whistles, they quickly get up and overhand pass the ball to themselves while moving forwards and backwards from the net.

Set To The Rim:

Players stand in a row facing a basketball or netball rim. The aim is for the players to set the ball and attempt to get it to go through the rim. Players take turns and join the back of the queue after their set.

2 Warm Up

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.
