Volleyball Camps - How to Become a Better Volleyball Setter


As a junior volleyball player one of the best ways to become a better all-around volleyball player is to improve your volleyball setting. Even if you're undecided about what position you want to play in high school or club attending a volleyball camp should give you an idea as to what the setter's responsibilities are, what its like to play in that position and whether you'll be interested in being a volleyball setter in the future.
Basic Skills Camps - As a young player who has never attended a camp before, for your first experience you may want to attend a basic volleyball skills camp. These types of camps can come in all forms, but when you attend a basic volleyball skills camp you should ideally expect to learn all the basic volleyball skills-setting, serving, passing, blocking in two (sometimes three) sessions throughout the day for one, two or multi-day volleyball camps.
For three-day camps, most camps should offer 18 training hours-that's a morning and afternoon session that lasts for three hours while a four-day camp averages 21 to 24 or more training hours, especially the team camps.
One of the first things to expect as a camper, especially at a basic skills camp is to be placed in a group based on your skill level and volleyball playing experience so that you will be involved in skill-appropriate drills. This way you won't get discouraged easily because you've been placed with a group of players that have a lot more experience than you do.
Types of Volleyball Camps Where You Can Improve Your Setting Skills
In Texas, what you'll usually find at a volleyball setters camp, whether its an overnight or a day camp is that it is designed for those players interested in specialized volleyball setter skill training. A volleyball setters camp is an individual volleyball skills camp which is tailored to those athletes that have a basic volleyball foundation and are in high school. There are typically two sessions one in the morning and one in the afternoon and both sessions focus specifically on all aspects of the volleyball setting position. Setters will concentrate on setting skill techniques and training repetitions in footwork, decision making, and various play sets.
In Connecticut the volleyball positional camp is designed for players who have the desire to improve their specific positional skills. This type of camp needs to be taught with a hands-on approach, with each camper being taken through step-by-step progressions, which should include the basic fundamentals. Each position usually focuses on their appropriate footwork, hand positions, visual cues, the correct timing for each volleyball skill being trained and arm swing or arm movement mechanics. Setters are trained in advanced concepts that typically include setting various quick sets and running an offense.
There are even volleyball boot camps for setters in Colorado that offer opportunities for the players who have proven to have the fundamentals to advance their setting skills. This type of camp offers video breakdown, movement training, and games. Setters learn how to improve their setting control, increase ball delivery accuracy and expand their repertoire through instruction from Colorado's most experienced and accomplished setting coaches.
