Explore volleyball setting drills - find out how to beat up big blockersHow to use volleyball setting drills to beat up the bigger blockers? Faster game has become a norm in competitive volleyball – on this page you find tips how setters, passers and hitters learn to play faster game.Fast sets are difficult to learn?Working on faster offense and timing could be the most challenging of all the volleyball drills. For example fast outside sets require lots of training between the setters and hitters. Fast outside sets usually take much more time to learn than other sets. (However, there are few players who may find fast sets easier and may pick it up quick. Often players who have tendency to be there too early, may find faster outside sets easier to hit.) Even if timing may be an issue in the beginning, it is still much recommended to start working on quick sets and use them in the matches right away. You may feel your timing is not perfect, your hits are not as hard, you are misshitting the ball etc, but still it is worth using faster sets. When using faster offense you get the kills much easier because most often the blockers have problems there too – you get to hit from the empty net or can tool (hit off the hands of) the blocker, who is “flying sideways” and whose hands are not properly placed. How to Practice Fast Outside Sets on Volleyball Setting Drills?We categorize these volleyball setting drills quite advanced and rate this type of drills with 3 stars on our scale from 1 to 5. This type of volleyball drills are not for the beginners. The drill itself is not complicated, but co-operation between setter and hitter makes it quite difficult. If coach adds a passing/blocking into the mix, the drill becomes even more advanced. A little note first – we are not big fans of practicing setting/hitting without a block - but timing is such a big issue on this drill that it probably should be done without a block first. When players start getting hang of it, the coach can consider putting couple of blockers on the box to block the hitters. (Once again: standing on the box is better practice, because we always want a steady block against the hitters). When doing this drill first without the blockers, coach can easily run this on the both sides of the court (one setter on each side).
Coaches job on these volleyball setting drills – this is IMPORTANT!On these volleyball setting drills coach/assistant coach needs to feed the balls with a good tempo and give feedback to the setter about the tempo of the set.It is very important because without giving constant feedback the setter usually gets very frustrated because the timing with the hitters can be totally off. Those 2-3 players will be hitting the balls one after another. Coach also needs to give constant feedback to the hitters and pay attention that they’ll set up the timing correctly.
