SETTING
Definition: A controlled skill in which you are contacting the ball about your head with open hands. You are trying to control the ball and deliver it to a very specific spot on the court. Both of your hands should move together like a mirror image. Use your soft finger pads to contact and control the ball. Everyone need to know how to set-not just the specific setters. We need to set the 2nd contacts.
1. FOOTWORK:
- Use quick and efficient footwork to get under the ball.
- Any ball that is high enough you should be able to set.
- Your last 3 steps are: Right, Left -Right and Set!
- Stay on the balls of your feet and use your legs to push though the ball.
2. ONE MOTION
- Get your hands up quick and high.
- Your hands should be 6-8 inches above your forehead.
3. BALL SHAPED HANDS
- Form your hands into the same shape as the ball. (Round)
- Cock your wrist and your palms will almost face each other.
- You should have a Triangle or Window to look through
- Make sure your hands are wide enough to control the ball.
4. CONTACT
- Contact the ball with high- "Ball Shaped Hands".
- Your fingers should be comfortably apart and slightly cupped.
- Contact the ball with your finger pads.
5.FOLLOW THROUGH
- Extend your hands to your target.
- As you push through the ball your hands will follow straight through the ball.
- Your palms should be flat after contact. Not like a swimmer.
