Play at Sprout

Archive for April, 2010

Setting a volleyball is a skill of finesse. It takes a soft touch, great timing and the ability to coordinate your upper body that is required to push the ball in the air with your lower body which first has to get into a low position and then come out of that position all in one well-choreographed sequence.

Never do players find this more true than when setting the ball on the beach where the sand and other elements are also introduced as “game” determining factors.

Beach volleyball players have certain styles of setting the ball and beginners like to emulate the professionals by trying to copy their style, but some styles aren’t what they seem to be and they may not be the ones that should be copied.
