Why do the attackers get to have all the glory? Here’s a Setter Dump Shot to put your setter’s kill percentage on the map.
The key to a setter dump is to be sneaky. The sneakier, the better.
You may be wondering, “How can a setter be sneaky?”
Here’s how:
1. She’ll keep both hands up like she would for a typical set. (it helps if she’s a jump-setter)
2. Next, she’ll drive her arm down by exchanging her wrist and elbow. (Wait, that sounds confusing. In a typical set, the setter’s wrist is the high point, right. Here she will drive her left wrist down below her elbow and finish with her elbow high. This helps her to get on top of the volleyball to get the kill).
3. Here, she demos Zone 2 and “donut” (which is that hole in the middle of the opponent’s defense. hint: it’s always open.) Another effective tip is Zone 4, over her right shoulder (not shown).
This move is especially terminal when the setter is front row (say, in a 5-1). She’ll be able to jump and really put some stank on the ball.
The setter shown in the video is number 2 in the state in assists. After all that hard work, I think she deserves some glory of her own.
