Basics of Bump Setting Demo

Setting - Bump Setting

Drill 1 : 5-10 mins

• Shuttle Setting - Put half of your group next to one antenna and the other half diagonal from them on the same side of the net. The players away from the net are the “Setters”. They should receive a free ball from the antenna players. The setters will pass once to themselves and then bump set back to the target at the net. Have your players “follow their ball” and change lines after every touch. Beginners should catch the ball from the setter and throw. Advanced groups should keep the ball alive and send challenging free balls to the setters. BONUS* You can also draw a target circle 6 feet from the net and mandate that your setters pass their first ball into the target and then set.

Drill 2 : 5-10 mins

• Simulated Pass to Set Footwork - Have the players form two lines. One line is in the serve receive position holding balls. The other line is also waiting in serve receive but as setters. Have the players with the balls toss a high ball to target and have the setters set. The person who threw the ball should then catch the set and those two players will go back to the ends of opposite lines. Your footwork should alternate when you switch sides. This is very similar to Triangle Setting. If you have higher level groups, you should skip straight to Triangle Setting.

Drill 3 : 5-10 mins

• Triangle Setting - Player 1 will be at the net next to the antenna. Player 2 will be in a serve receive position. Player 3 (the setter) will start in the other serve receive position next to Player 2. (If you have a lot of players, pinch the players over to the sideline so you can utilize both halves.) Player 1 will toss or hit a ball to Player 2, Player 2 will pass to the middle of the court about 6 ft from the net. Player 3 will set Player 1. Beginners should catch and repeat. If you have an advanced group, you can keep this continuous with a “pass-set-hit” rhythm. Rotate positions every 2 minutes.

Drill 4 : 10-15 mins

• Cross Court Pepper - Put teams on both sides of the net. Players should pass, set and hit over the net continuously and cooperatively. Continue this process for a certain amount of time and challenge the players to hit a certain number of transfers without the ball dying. Rotate in between transfers or after the ball dies. Make sure everyone plays every position. Allow all players to dig and hit from each side.

In-System Hand Setting
