Put your attackers is position to terminate the ball!

Tom Keating introduces the proper hand position, contact point, and follow-through for setting the ball. High school players then demonstrate a drill progression that takes players from simple hand contact through front and back sets. This is followed by seven group drills that reinforce setting techniques. Coach Keating then covers footwork patterns that will help setters transition from serve receive to target from six rotations. Defensive transition footwork progressions begin with just a setter in base defense and gradually add passers and attackers to simulate game conditions.

The second half of the video focuses on attacking technique. Coach Keating first breaks down the mechanics of a quality arm swing, showing two drills to help emphasize proper form and contact point. He then examines each step of a three-step approach, providing an explanation of the roles that the hips, feet, and arms play in take-off. Keating takes his players through a thorough demonstration of transition footwork patterns from the free ball, block, and digging positions. This is further divided into patterns for left, right, and middle attackers.

The two disciplines of setting and hitting are combined to include the transition game for both setters and hitters through a series of attacker transition drills.

This informative video does a great job of articulating the mechanics that make up the setting and attacking skills, and then shows how players can use these skills in game situations. Coach Keating provides an abundance of teaching points that coaches can use to convey these skills to players.

Tom Hogan and Jim Merit reveal the results of their in-depth research and analysis into the styles and techniques of the world's best setters. From these findings, Hogan and Merit have zeroed in on six key technical elements that are universal with all great setters.

Hogan presents the technical components of each element followed by a video breakdown of the world's best executing the element. Adding these elements to your training will produce setters with more control over the ball, hold the block longer with improved deception, and consistently improve the quality of each set.

Coach Merit provides a video analysis of setting from four positions. For each set, Merit shows video of the key techniques followed by training drills using 17 year old players.

These techniques will assist your setter in creating energy, controlling rotation into the ball and movement training.

Throughout each of these four areas, Merit points out the technical elements that all sets need to possess.

What you will learn from this great presentation is that no matter what country or style of setter, the technical elements at the highest level of play are all the same. Order now to ensure that your setters are using and perfecting these successful techniques.
