First, start by going through the archives on vbli. I believe that we had a discussion on setting in the not too distant past. I'm sure that there are some other suggestions or at least to links on good articles and I think some critiques on a couple of questionable ones.

Second, to quote Pat Powers (because that's what I do) "You're either born a setter or you're not." That being said I still think that with training everyone can do an ok job at it. Listen to what KVB has to say, she's someone who trains all aspects of the game to become better and is not someone I would call a natural setter but has become great at it.

Third, just keep doing it. Most of the people reading your post are probably thinking only since Feb and they're concerned they can't set? Most people play volleyball for years and can't get the setting thing down so don't become frustrated yet. Find a setter in a league or open play with some coaching experience and ask them for a few tips.

As a NON-SETTER who probably should have been a setter here's my say. Things to think about... Feet- move to where you want to go and stop. Hands- get them up early, get them up early, get them up early AND keep them there until you set.

Only other drill I can think of that I have heard a lot of reference to is to lie on your back on the ground and practice setting the ball from your forehead. I don't know how it helps. hahaha. Good Luck!
