Set to Target from Bounce

A volleyball setting practice drill.

Have two to three setters in a line at their starting position (for a 6-2 offense, this would be right back and for a 4-2 offense this would be middle front). When the coach slaps the ball the first setter in line runs to front row setting position. The coach bounces the ball and the setter sets out to target and then returns to the end of the line while the other setters perform the task. Target bounces/tosses ball back to coach. Have players go through x-number of times or set a goal of x-number of good sets. Then repeat the drill with the target in middle front and then right front for 6-2 offenses or just repeat with target in right front for 4-2 offenses, but have the setter backset to this target. Make the tosses as easy or difficult as necessary depending on players’ skill level.
