SKILLS:
THE SET:
-The set is an overhead pass. With it, the setter passes the ball with a high
arc to front-line players for them to spike.
-There are many different types of sets: to the front, to the side, to the
back...
-The proper technique for setting is to raise your hands about 15 cms above
your head with your thumbs on the bottom. Your thumbs and index fingers
must form a triangle, and also, your hands must form the shape of the ball.
-Go to the ball and get under it, facing the direction to which you want to
pass it.
-Bend your elbows and your knees.
-You must hit the ball with both hands together and simultaneously. Dont
let the ball touch your palm. This is called a push, and is a violation. If you
hold the ball or you strike it unevenly with either hand, youll be in
violation.

-Receive the ball over your head, and act as a spring.
