17-18u Boys Extended Setter

What to Expect

This session creates elite setters through technical training and championship-intensity competition. Athletes perfect setting techniques from standard deliveries to emergency one-handed sets, master complex offensive systems, and develop split-second decision-making. Training emphasizes deceptive movements, tempo control, and exploiting defensive weaknesses through set selection. Technical stations push setting excellence through footwork patterns for deceptive body positioning and back sets while facing forward. Jump setting progressions include off-balance deliveries, setting while drifting, and maintaining accuracy from imperfect approaches. Tempo manipulation focuses on speeding up or slowing down plays based on defensive positioning. Vision training develops peripheral awareness while reading blockers. Early-season sessions eliminate technical inefficiencies while introducing concepts like baiting blockers with body language and manipulating formations through set selection. Mid-season training adds offensive packages, teaching setters to manage tempo options while maintaining deception. Late-season work simulates championship pressure, requiring execution in must-win scenarios. The competitive hour features setter challenges including running offenses against defensive schemes, managing hot hitters, and maintaining consistency through extended rallies. Athletes face consequence-based scenarios where decisions impact team success. Expect technical development, tactical implementation, and competitive intensities that forge championship setters.
