Equipment Needed
- Volleyballs
- Net
Setup
- Setter in position with target hitter; servers or coaches feed accurate passes to the setter.
- Hitter practices approach and timing off a consistent set.
Instructions
- Begin with slow, controlled sets to rehearse approach footwork and arm-swing timing.
- Increase pace and add variable pass height to challenge timing and adjustability.
- Finish with live swings against block or defense to apply the timing under pressure.
Coaching Points
- Hitter: commit to your approach - consistent steps create repeatable swings.
- Setter: deliver a predictable ball so hitters can time their approach correctly.
- Practice hitting different zones rather than always aiming at the line.
