Setting for Team Success

Get more consistency from your setter and improve your team's success.

In this 2009 AVCA Convention presentation, Iowa State Head Coach Christy Johnson-Lynch shares the tips and strategies that have placed the Cyclones at the top of the nation in assists per set year after year.

This six-part presentation features:

• Individual Setter Drills - Use these drills to gain more consistent sets and improve court vision.


• Game Situations - Learn drills to train game situations such as starting at the net and getting to the ball, releasing from defense, releasing from side out, and block and find the ball.


• Setting the Middle Attack - If your team does not have the luxury of outside hitters with a big swing, the middle attack becomes invaluable. Learn to properly train your setter to effectively set the middle.


• Setter Training 6-on-6 Drills - See drills to keep your middles and right side involved in the attack. Each drill is designed to reward sets to the desired area of attack.


• Setting Hittable Balls - Get detailed strategies for helping the setter to determine when to set the middle or set elsewhere.


• Q & A - Johnson-Lynch answers questions with on-court answers of common setting issues that coaches encounter.
