setting in volleyball.
okay well in gym we're doing volleyball. i'm pretty good at serving & bumping but i can't set it at all. i always hit it on like my whole finger, not just the tips. i don't know how to fix it & i have practiced alot. i keep my fingers how they are supposed to be but i can't get it. my team is counting on me & i can't do it. what can i do?

just to add of of the other one. when you set, dont have flat hands, make sure they are cupped a little when the ball is comming at you. when the ball it in your hands push your fingers out and so they are flat, along with using your legs, arm etc. also, i have played volleyball for 4 years now, and on my team, i cannot set really well either. that is why u have positions. i am a middle hitter, so i do not need to set.
hope that helped:-D

Hi there. :)
I'm the setter for my school's team,
so I think I can help.
The key to perfecting a set is repetition.
(You're probably thinking but I DO practice alot!)
Well by repetition, I mean ALOT of repetition.
I'm required to set 500 balls before games.
Yeah, its alot of work to perfect a set.
Try setting up against a wall, this way
if the ball isn't reaching the wall, or
when it comes back it goes over your head, you
know that you're not setting correctly.
Keep practicing until you have control over
the ball. Control is vital.
The ball should never spin.
Setting is also of leg muscles.
You should be COMPLETLEY under the ball.
*If you happen to 'miss' the ball, it
should hit you square in the forehead*
Now, get under the ball, feet firmly planted
into the ground. While in ready position with
your hands above your head. As you
recieve the ball, slightly "absorb" the
ball (By bending your knees a tiny bit)
Bent your elbows and use your arms and
legs to release the set.

Good Luck <3
