Suitable for the following techniques: pass , setup , serve

Precision in setups

Formation
  • 1 server
  • 1 receiver
  • 1 setter
  • 1 catcher
Execution
  • Visualize an inverted triangle between the receiver and the setter, with the top at the receiver and the bottom against the net.
  • Start with an easy serve.
  • The pass should be directed to the corner of the triangle, most centrally in the field.
  • The setter sets the ball to the other end, with a maximum distance of 2 meters.
  • Use a standing basket for more accuracy.
Continuation
  • The coach plays the ball back to the receiver, repeat and catch or optionally play out.
  • With 3 players: 1 receiver and 2 setters, coach serves.
  • With 5 players: 2 setters alternate.
  • With 6 players: divide into two groups and use both sides of the court.
Technique
  • Work on the correct technique – turn towards the post before giving the set.
  • Provide the set in a dynamic movement along the attacker's shoulder line.
  • Use a standing leg in a slight lunge position to initiate the setup.
Adjustments
  • Start with a very easy serve for consistent passes.
  • Increase passing pressure with a more difficult serve.
  • Let the setter start from a deeper point in the field.
  • Let the setter start from a blocking position.
  • Vary with set targets; increase or decrease the distance to the target, shift the target per set.
  • Aim for 5 perfect passes and setups in a row.
  • Engage the partner by providing feedback or by attacking the ball without jumping.
