Beachvolleyball drill: accurate setting

Suitable for the following techniques: pass setup serve

Accurate setting

  • 1 server, 1 passer, 1 playmaker, 1 finisher.
  • Between the passer and the setter an inverted triangle can be visualized.
  • The top of the triangle lies near the passer, the bottom against the net.
  • Start the exercise with an easier serve.
  • The pass should be sent to the corner of the triangle, which is the most middle of the court.
  • The setter sets the ball to the other end.
  • The distance between them is max 2 meters.
  • To work more accurately a standing basket can be used.
  • Continuation: Instead of a basket the coach plays the ball back to the passer, repeats and catches / plays out if necessary.
  • With 3 players use 1 passer and 2 setters; coach serves.
  • With 5 players you let 2 playmakers alternate.
  • With 6 players divide the game in two groups and use both sides of the court.


  • Work on the correct technique - turning in towards the post, before the set is given, helps with the execution.
  • The set should be given in a dynamic movement in the attacker's shoulder line.
  • The most common is to work with a standing leg (front leg) in a small lunge position with the legs initiating the set up.

Adjustments

  • The service of the 1st ball can be very easy so that the passer can deliver a good pass every time.
  • Increase the pass rush by making the service more difficult.
  • Have the setter start from a deeper point in the court.
  • Have the setter start from block position.
  • Vary set goals; increase the distance to the goal or decrease the goal, shift the goal per set.
  • Try to get 5 perfect passes and setups in a row.
  • Involve the partner in the exercise by giving feedback, or by having the ball attacked without a jump.
