High-Rep Triangle Setting — Intermediate/Advanced
This drill works on giving athletes a high number of repetitions in setting and it additionally gives athletes practice passing soft driven balls.
How to run it
- 1
Athlete 1 starts in passing position on the left (or right) side of the court. The coach or an athlete who is at the net softly drives the ball to the athlete in passing position. The athlete not passing comes in and either bump sets or hand sets the ball to the athlete at the net who soft drives the ball again to the passer to continue the drill.

Coach emphasis: Keep setting reps game-like and technically clean.
