Does anyone have any volley ball tips?

Question

Our volley ball team just finishing our season. I'm going into eighth grade in August and want to be a setter. I am going to need some tips on setting although I can now I'm striving to succeed.

Answer 1

practice with a basketball, it will help you become better at setting.

Answer 2

When the ball's in play, don't let it touch the court's floor.

Answer 3

the setter has to go for that 2 hit and try her hardest to get it and try to get it to the hitters PLEASE pick this as the best answer ily

Answer 4

First, watch the passer and anticipate where he / she might be passing to, their body position will tell you a great deal. Get in their line of passing before the ball reaches there and you are in a great position to start setting.

Answer 5

you need to watch the setter hitting the ball closely so you can kind of determine where its going then if the ball goes high in the air make a triangle directly parallel from your forehead without touching look through it and hit it so a person on your team can knock the ball down so hard and score.Hope this helps.

Answer 6

If you want to be setter, you have to move A LOT. You need to follow the ball, so practice on your speed and side steps.

Answer 8

Setting Basics:

1. Start in the ready position facing the target.

2. Spread fingers in the shape of the ball above the head.

3. Form a triangle with thumbs and pointerfingers (hands should not be touching)

4. Place hands directly in front of the face close to the forehead. This position is called NEUTRAL and is always the starting position for the set.

5. On contact, set by extending the arms and legs.

Avoid following:

1. Contacting the ball with the palms of the hands.

2. Facing where the ball is coming from.

--------------------------------------...

Tips:

1. HANDS UP EARLY SHAPED LIKE THE BALL

-Wait for ball with hands 4 to 6 inches above forehead.

-Thumbs and index fingers form a triangle through which you can see ball (triangular window).

-Rest of hands form the shape of a ball.

2. ONE AND FREEZE

-The correct contact point is just above the forehead (hairline).

-When contacting the ball, the hands move in one direction only.

-Freeze with arms fully extended in the direction you want the ball to go. (Hands are the same distance apart upon completion as they were during coantct.)

-Hands follow the ball.

3. FOREHEAD AND HIPS

-The correct body position is with the ball, forehead, and hips in a vertical line.

4. FACE THE TARGET

-With your right foot forward, square off to target with shoulders and feet before you deliver set

-Face your sweet spot (for outside sets - the point on the left sideline that is 3 feet from the center line) for all of your sets

5. LONG DISTANCE SETS

-With your right foot forward and knees bent, place weight on the back foot (left) and at contact, transfer weight to the front foot (right).

Answer 9

#1

Make sure you have the right form.

My volleyball coach always told us to pretend like you're drinking a 2 liter bottle of soda, or to put your hands in the shape of moose ears! Make sure your hand conforms to the shape of the ball and that only your fingertips touch the ball.

#2

Practice pushing the ball out of your hands.

The motion for setting is essentially the same as a chest pass in basketball, except that it is done above your head and straight up. Set the ball up 2 to 3 feet in the air and let it fall back to your hand so that you can continue to set it up and down. Each time the ball falls back down in your hands you should pretend you are catching it and pushing it back in the air as fast as you can. Remember that the ball should have NO SPIN when you set it, or else you will get called for hands during a match.

#3

To practice getting power in your sets, get a volleyball and set against a wall, making sure to use your legs when you said it, and remembering to have the ball touch your fingertips for as short as possible. Most importantly, remember that there should be NO SPIN on the ball.

#4

Finally, if you have access to a net, you can stand in the ready position in the setter's spot, and have a friend toss you a ball. You can practice 4s, 1s, 2s, 5s, As, pipes, and Ds. 4 - a ball to the outside hitter, requires use of the legs and the ball needs to be pushed hard to the far antenna. 1 - a quick ball to the middle hitter should raise above the net about a foot and be set slightly in front of you. 2 - a slower middle ball that should be set just over the height of the antenna, and the same distance in front of you as the one ball. 5 - one of the most difficult sets for a setter; the ball needs to be set to the right side hitter, who will hit at the antenna behind you. Remember to throw your hips forward when attempting to push the ball behind you. As, pipes, and Ds correspond to the left, middle, and right sides of the court, respectively, and need to be set behind the 10 foot line.

If you get really good at setting all those balls, you can have your friend start making you move out of position to practice setting on the move.

Best of luck!
