Organization

Play a conditioned game with two goals and goalkeepers. Place neutral setters beside each goal line. The team in possession may use a setter for a return pass before finishing.

Coaching Points

Recognise when to shoot directly; prepare the body for the return pass; set with the correct angle and weight; attack rebounds; finish with minimal touches.

Progressions

  • Limit setters to one touch or add a time limit to finish after the set.

Regressions

  • Create an attacking overload or allow setters unlimited touches.
