What is the proper way to set a volleyball?

Question

I mean i can get to where i want it w/out lifting it but what is the right way? I am 5'10 and the tallest on my team so i won't be the setter but in college VB thats really short. Thanks for the help!!

Answer 1

The most important thing is to almost SIT on the floor and only hit the ball with your fingertips, unless ya wanna get a carry... Good Luck :) _BeckY_

Answer 2

a volleyball coach once told me your hands are set as though youre frisking someones butt haha. also, i think you shouldnt make sound when setting and also the ball shouldnt spin.

Answer 3

You should bend your knees and push up the volleyball.  You don't hit the ball with your palm, you gently hit it with your fingertips, so you can barely hear a sound after you hit the ball.  There shouldn't be a loud noise when you hit the ball.  Good luck!  My principal at school was the coach for the Huskies volleyball team. Trust me!

Answer 4

The best thing I would say to do to fix your problem would be to keep your hands tight.  By letting your hands be lax and further apart, you are more likely to have a miss-set.  Try to fix the bad habit now.

   You may also want to make sure you are squaring up.  Open up to your passers and use proper footwork to get your hips around the ball.  To get used to swinging your hips around, do a lot of reps.  I use orange cones placed at 12:00, 10:00, 9:00, and even 7:00.  The cones should be about 5 to 10 feet off of the net.  Use a push, drive, slant technique.  With enough reps, it will become easier to you.

   Hope this helps.

Answer 5

knees bent

hands up and a little bent (a little over head)

your four fingers in a triangle  (thumb and index  both)

other six spread out

go straight up

keep your hands under the ball

Answer 6

Stay under the ball...and keep your knees bent,keep your hands ready but in a good position, when it comes aiming at you have both hands on the ball and flick(in other words, just hit it fast) it forward, so it goes up high. When you hit it hit it with your fingertips, you wont really hear a loud sound.

Answer 7

Every volleyball player needs to know how to set properly.

The first thing is to get under the ball with your knees bent.  Your fingers should be spread in a fan shape and turned inwards so that your index fingers are close together.

Use your legs to start the drive, push with your arms and let the ball 'spring' off your fingers to get good height and control.  From there on its practice, practice, practice.  Good Luck.

Answer 8

Answer 10

first, take your hands and shape them so that there is a triangle in between your hands(make sure your hands and fingers are spread out but not too far). then, have someone drop a ball over your hands and push the ball up with your fingertips and make sure you use your legs to pussh the ball up.
