VIDEO -REVIEW: A “Setting accuracy” exercise

Here is an exercise that I came across that says it is “an exercise to work on accuracy while setting”. You may have to go on a full screen to see everything.

What this exercise could be used for:

– Develop strength to push the ball over longer distances.

– Accuracy when placing balls. Although I wish the practice works to see the court and decision -making.

What this exercise should not be used for:

– Set accuracy.

I really don’t think this exercise does not work at all. What they do is volleyen the ball with their hands. There is nothing that relates to setting the ball on a batter.

Why?

The distance is too long. Note the players and you will notice that there is more focus on power generation than on real accuracy. They first have to play the ball far enough to even reach the target.

There is no trajectory consideration. Sets are based on timing with the Slagman, and those links to the set of trajectory. Faster sets have flatter processes than slower sets (in general). This exercise has no restriction on the trajectory, so it certainly does not work a little slower than a shoot set. If so, there would be something to transfer, or something that is elevated to drop the ball.

The target can actually be too small. This may sound strange, but tolerate me. Most sets happen over a distance of 20 feet or less. The sets in this exercise are more than double. Let’s say that you want a normal pace that is 3 ′ of the net, which expects a error range of about 1 ‘in both directions, so your reach is a total of 2’. In general, a 1 ′ error on 20 feet is a 2 ′ error on 40 feet. That means that your range is 40 feet a total of 4 ′. Those hoops are not 4 ′ left. So sets that would be acceptable from 20 feet will miss on 40 feet. You can say that this means that the player must be more accurate, but must take into account the psychological aspect of double the failure percentage.

If you want your players to be better in pushing the ball to opening the court, this can be a starting point. If you actually want to work on institution, I would choose something else.
