In this transition setting drill, the player at the net pulls from a blocking position to set her partner near the center of the net. Disks on the court mark 3 hitting options for the attacker: deep line, deep middle and deep rainbow. Coach reminds the players to keep their butts down when digging. A butt-down position allows the defender to pop the ball up, making it easier to set than the low trajectory digs that often come from a straighter body posture. Coach also talks here about adjusting the sets and hits to the windy conditions.

New hitters rarely miss because of their arm. They miss because of their feet. Build a reliable approach, then time it with your setter.
When your hitter gets stuffed, five teammates standing and watching is how you lose the point. Good attack coverage turns a blocked ball into a second swing.
Coaches spend hours correcting arms in serve receive when the real fault is almost always the feet. Fix the movement and the platform fixes itself.
