Volleyball: Shuffle Setting

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

DESCRIPTION

Players stand on opposite sides of the net at the attack line. They shuffle across the court and set the ball over the net to each other.

COACHING POINTS

This drill helps players adapt their body position to the ball trajectory, and this also improves footwork.

One player may set just over the net while the other can set high over the net.

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.

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.

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.

Overhand-Underhand Mixing:

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.
