Rainbow Drill

Purpose: To give the setter a lot of repetitions with the pass coming from all different angles on the court. It can be modified to train beginners, right sides, and advanced setters.

Setup: Target, Tosser, Setter, 2 balls.

1. The tosser starts out at the left front position and after each toss, takes a step back and to the right.

2. This pattern should form the shape of a rainbow to the right sideline (10 tosses). The tosser should move all the way to the right sideline and back to the left sideline.

3. The target should bounce pass the ball to the tosser quickly to allow for more repetitions in a shorter amount of time.

Modifications:

1. The setter may play as a back row setter and release from the right back position (her defensive position).

2. You may add another target who will stand in the right front position to catch the setter’s back sets.

3. You can move the tosser to the other side of the net and have her toss the ball to a passer who passes and then moves to next position in the rainbow pattern.

4. You may add a middle blocker, on the other side from the setter, who chooses to commit block in the middle or release outside. The setter should see the blocker and set the opposite way.
