Become a Setting Master
The setter is a key player on offense. Some would say THE key player. That’s because the setter is involved in nearly every play—setting the offensive rhythm, deciding which plays to run, and converting poor passes into hittable balls. Yet mastering the techniques of setting can be difficult.
In the Lauren Carlini Setting Package, the four-time All-American and USA National Team member gives you 40 action-packed videos of setter-specific drills, advanced setting challenges and pre-match strategy discussions designed to improve your offense.
Topics include:
- Using the “triangle” technique for attaining correct hand position
- Promoting a neutral body position to fool the opponent’s defense
- Positioning your body properly to execute forward, back, side, jump and spin sets
- Getting to balls quickly using shuffle, run, outside plant and inside spin movements
- Performing jump sets using four different footwork patterns
- Controlling the ball when setting to different locations on the court
Subscribe now to discover Lauren’s secrets to better setting—and, as a bonus, unlock 1,500 additional coaching videos and clinics, pre-made practice plans, worksheets, and online coaching courses available only through the Art of Coaching Volleyball.
