This volleyball session introduces players to the correct technique for a successful Bump and Set.
To work on this technique we start with the basics and following a musical warm up we look at how to build the bump - passing the ball off your forearms from a balanced stance to set up a player on your team.
Contrary to what some of your players might think, the power for this passing technique doesn't come from swinging your arms at the ball but instead it's from the legs!
What's in the session?
Divided into three sections, this session starts by giving players time to practice and experiment with the technique. Once they've got the hang of this we then get to work in small groups as a team, trying to keep the ball in the air using the bump and set for as long as possible. Finally it's time to put their skills to the test in the final game!
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.
