Setting Drills For Volleyball Players How You Improve Setting Skills

These setting drills for volleyball players are to improve your volleyball setting technique and overhand ball control skills for setters and non setters.

Setting drills for volleyball players. Try combining a group of two players with a group of three players for some cross court setting reps. (R.Aversen)

Setting drills for volleyball players are essential for developing consistent ball control, precise hand positioning, and quick decision-making skills.

Whether you're a dedicated setter or a player who needs to improve their overhead passing, these drills will help you become more confident and effective with your ball control.

What makes my selection of these setting drills for volleyball particularly effective is that they combine technical skills with game-like situations, helping players develop both accuracy and court awareness simultaneously.

As a volleyball coach with over three decades of experience, I've developed and refined these setting drills to work for both individual players and larger groups.

As you will see, these are the same drills I use with my Vegas Volley teams, my clients and my college players home for the summer to train and prep for their upcoming season and they're designed to challenge players while maintaining high repetitions and engagement.

Whether you have two players or seven, you'll find variations that work for your situation.

Setting Drills For Volleyball Players
Seven Person Setting Drill

Here's what it looks like as a seven person setting drill.

During your practice warmups after you do the traditional setting back and forth, try combining a group of two players with a group of three players for some cross court setting reps.

In the group of three, after the setter sets, they shuffle step to join the group of two on their right.

The player on the far side doesn't move until they're told to or tagged by the person who just joined the group.

Working on:

Proper technique while setting under pressure.

Everyone works together as a group of seven because everyone needs to work together to control their ball making sure it travels back and forth in a straight line while still performing the assigned two sets, in this case a two to yourself and a four to their partner.

Wide vision.

Many players play with tunnel vision on the court.

When they focus on the ball...that’s the ONLY thing they see.

In these setting drill for volleyball practice, players are forced to be aware of what's happening on each side of them while still focusing on the ball.

Quick feet while shuffling laterally.

The player in the group of three is the one who moves clockwise. When they do they should shuffle step quickly to join the group of two on their right. They need to do it in time so they are in position to set the next ball.

Communication.

There's a ton of talk needed for each player in this drill, the same type of communication needed in a match.

The player in each new group of three needs to let the others know when they are arriving and when the player on the far side is free to go join the next group over.

Understanding this type of ball control volleyball drill along with some of the setting drills for volleyball players we do in Boot Camp class may spark a few ideas about some practice repetitions you can do at home.

Five Person Setting Drills For Volleyball Players

The player on the far side should inform the group that they are leaving to make sure the other two know.

The players in the groups on the end definitely need to talk to let the group of three know when they are crossing over to the other side to join their partner across from them.

These setting drills for volleyball players are proven to improve your setting technique, court awareness, and communication skills.

I've seen countless players transform their setting ability by consistently practicing these drills, whether during team practice or in small group sessions.

Remember, the key to improvement is not just doing the drills, but doing them with proper technique and focus.

Pay attention to your hand positioning, footwork, and communication during each repetition.

Serving slang is not just about individual techniques; it also relates to overall game strategy. A coach might instruct a player to serve a "short serve" or a "deep serve" to target specific areas of the opponent's court or exploit weaknesses in their serve receive formation.

Ari, my private training client and I are working specifically on serving on jump float cross court serves ...short to Zone 2

There's so much we work on to get to this point where she can contact the ball with

the same toss height and same toss location
the same armswing speed
the same timing for when her serving hand contacts the ball
the middle of the hand contacting the middle of the ball every single time
getting use to watching her serving hand contact the ball at the highest point of her jump ...before she starts to land
and finally contacting the ball in the precise spot on the ball so it goes where the coach wants the player to put it so in this case ..a short serve in the farthest short right corner on the court also called Zone 2.
