High-Rep Triangle Setting — Beginner/Intermediate

This drill works on giving athletes a large number of repetitions setting.

How to run it

1
Passers start in ready position on the left or right side of the court. The coach or athlete then tosses the ball to simulate a pass and the setter comes in and sets the ball towards the catcher who in this drill is the target. If there is only one athlete setting then they will not have time to get all the way back to the original passing position. If you have more than one athlete setting then they can cycle through from the ready position. Athletes should always practice setting on both sides of the court and both sides of the net. Depending on what the athlete is working on the thrower could simulate either a perfect or not so perfect pass.
