Setup

Setter at position 2. Passers queue at position 6. Cones mark the four set targets.

Instructions

  1. Passer passes to setter from zone 6.
  2. Setter calls the set before delivering: outside, middle, right side, back set.
  3. Hitter or catcher confirms accuracy: in-target or out.
  4. 15 sets per rotation, 4 rotations.

Coaching Points

✓ Consistent platform — set from the forehead, not the chest.
✓ Hands shape the set — triangle above the head.
✓ Follow through toward the target.

Progressions

→ Setter is given the call at the last moment.
→ Add a live hitter and attack.
→ Blind setting — caller doesn't reveal until ball is in the air.
