15-16u Boys Extended Setter

What to Expect

This session develops complete setters through technical progression and competitive application. Athletes refine footwork efficiency for all court positions, master hand positioning and release mechanics, and develop tactical awareness to manage multiple offensive options. Training emphasizes precision under pressure, tempo control, and building setter-hitter connections. Technical stations focus on neutral positioning drills, square-to-target footwork from various platform angles, and consistent hand placement. Jump setting develops accuracy while airborne. Back-setting consistency, one-handed emergency sets, and setting off imperfect passes maintain offensive opportunities. Decision-making drills incorporate reading blockers and defensive alignments. Early-season sessions establish tempo control, location accuracy to all positions, and efficient movement patterns. Mid-season training introduces deceptive techniques, quick-tempo variations, and system management with multiple options. Late-season work emphasizes leadership communication, managing hitter preferences, and maintaining precision when fatigued. The competitive hour features setter-specific challenges within modified 6v6 games. Scoring systems reward smart decisions, accurate locations, and tempo manipulation. Situational drills test emergency setting skills and offensive creativity. Expect technical development, enhanced court vision, and competitive scenarios that prepare setters to run successful offenses.
