Purpose

To help setters and hitters warmup

Setup

  • Have a setter stand near the net
  • Other players line up in hitting lanes. Each hitter starts with a ball

How it works

  • One by one, the hitters toss the ball to the setter who sets the ball for the hitter to attack.

Notes

  • This warmup can be run on both sides of the net simultaneously using two setters.
  • Alternately, for a more realistic and complex warmup, the setter can spike the ball at the attacker who must first pass the ball before receiving a set
  • Most teams run two hitting lines (left side and center) if using both sides of the net. Right side hitters can also practice their hits by first alerting the players on the other side of the net.
  • Liberos and other backrow players can stand across the net and attempt to pass after each hit
