Courtney Draper (St.
Pete Volleyball Club)
• The most important piece to setting is seeing the ball off
of the passer's platform so that the setter can get their feet to the ball
• We want all 10 fingers on the ball and a smooth finish to
the target.
• I see young players drop their hands too quickly. We teach
to hold for a second to help direct the ball a little longer and a focus on a
balanced finish with the hands.
Russ Rose (Penn State
University)

contact at forehead with ball shaped hands - see the ball in the window

target with balanced feet - keep ball off the net
• Extend
through the release with both hands looking the same
