Set it up

  1. Put the setter in right-back base, a passer in middle-back, and targets at the pins.

Run the drill

  2. The passer sends balls both on and off target.
  3. The setter calls and delivers to the assigned pin; rotate after eight reps.

What to say

  • Release when the ball is contacted.
  • Beat the pass to the net.
  • Square late enough to stay neutral.
