Dear Volleyball Mom,
Do You Know What Sets My Private Volleyball Training Apart From Anyone In Vegas?
I invite You to read what my private volleyball training mission says before considering hiring me as a private volleyball coach because I'm not available for everyone.Setting Volleyball Drills To Do At Home To Improve Setting Technique
These setting volleyball drills will help improve your setting technique and will help make your hands softer by doing these repetitions daily.
Try this after you’ve done several warmup setting volleyball drills with your partner.
Before this we warmed up with setting and passing variations including setting a ...
- 1 to self, the 2 to self the 4 to partner
- setting a 2 to self then side setting a 4 to partner
In the above video Tehani and Jay are working on:
-set a standing 2 ball to self then a jump set 4 with one hand to your partner
Working on
- ball control
- jump set timing - -focusing on contacting and setting the ball at the highest point of your jump and not on the way down
- body control- when you control your body parts you can control the ball
- finger and wrist strength
- communication- if I know I’m about to deliver a ball to my partner that’s off target... letting her know by saying “short” or “deep” getting one handed reps in while practicing the deep tip/set
Great practice today!
The setting volleyball drills I describe below are advanced versions of the "call and response" drills I talk about on the Volleyball Practice Drills For Setters and Non Setters page.
Jump Setting and Back Setting Drills
These drills incorporate more advanced setting techniques like jump setting and back setting.
Setting Volleyball Drills Set The One and Jump Set 4
What's the "jump" set?
When a player jumps to set a ball, and completes the contact and release before landing.
In the call and response partner setting drills I make the following calls so players can incorporate the jump set in these setting volleyball drills.
"Set a "1" to yourself and "jump set a 4" to your partner."
Setting Volleyball Drills
Set a One To Yourself, Backset a 5 To Your Partner
Set a "4" to yourself and "back set a 5" to your partner.
The key to the back set is quickly completing your half turn underneath the ball before setting it.
Many players turn too slowly under the ball, so the ball has already come down before they are in correct back setting position.
This version of the coach's volleyball practice drills for setting allows you to
- quickly identify where the ball is going to come down
- quietly getting to that spot and
- completing a half turn so their back is to their target BEFORE the ball reaches their setting hands
- Communication - this is a cooperative drill which means both partners need to work together to make this drill work. The partner who is setting absolutely needs to make a call to their partner who is backsetting. The back setter will not see their target but they can definitely hear them. When the non-setter makes a call like "right here" or "Yes" then the back setter should set to the voice.
For players that are looking for a new ball control volleyball drill that you can do at home and in your spare time, or introduce during club or high school workouts you might want to learn a few of these yourself or share some of the ones above.

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.
