    It's so important for every Volleyball player to know how to set as sometimes the setter plays defense so who else is going to set the ball? Olympian Volleyball Player for Team USA Rachael Adams will show you the hand positioning, some drills to improve your setting and common mistakes you want to avoid.
    Always remember:
    1) Jug of water - form a triangle
    2) set with fingertips to control the ball
    3) get underneath the ball

      in volleyball u need to know all skills, yes the right side is usually for setters but anyone on court has to know how to set in any scenario, that’s why setters call for help sometimes so anyone else can set. I’m guessing this lady used to set a lot too bc middle helps out, and I’m a middle blocker so ik that.

      @elisemansour6269 Před 3 lety +62

      guys, everyone learns everything in volleyball, we have rotations so setters do become a blocker eventually. I’m a middle blocker and my best friend is a setter and we did rotations so I saw her block most of the time.

    • @walezfynest
      @walezfynest Před 2 lety +36

      I would expect an Olympic level setter could block, spike, and pass better than most volleyball players. If you're watching this video to actually learn how to set, you're not at a level where you can be picky and should take every bit of info from an elite athlete who has been around the game most of their life(regardless of position/specialty).

      As someone who regularly plays both, they are so wildly different. Even the rule sets are different in terms of receiving touches. It makes transitioning between them a bit difficult sometimes, especially since I usually play beach all summer then transition to indoor/court for winter/spring. Indoor/court is where it's at for me though.
