10-Minute Setting Basics

Goal: clean overhead sets with soft hands and accuracy.

1) Hand position (1 min)

• Hands above forehead, fingers spread, thumbs and index fingers form a triangle
• Ball contacts the pads of the fingers — never the palms

2) Self-sets (4 min)

• Set the ball straight up to yourself. How many consecutive?
• Stay under the ball, push with legs and fingers together. 3 sets of 30 seconds.

3) Wall sets (3 min)

• Stand 3 feet from a wall. Set the ball against the wall and set the return. 20 reps.

4) Accuracy sets (2 min)

• Set the ball to a specific target (a spot on the wall, a partner’s hands)
• Focus on consistent height and location
