Joe Worsley & Coach Donny • Elevate Yourself
Pro Setter (Out of System) & Coach Donny

Session Overview

In Part 2 of this pro setting lesson on Elevate Yourself, professional setter Joe Worsley breaks down how to control setting tempo, trajectory shape, and pin location. He teaches setters how to target the back of the basketball rim in training and deliver fast shoot sets that beat the opposing middle blocker.

Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles

  • Focus on consistent trajectory shape so hitters can read the apex of the set early in their approach.
  • Use visual targets like the back of the basketball rim to dial in repeatable outside set height and depth.
  • Deliver fast, flat-arc shoot sets with active wrists to stress the opposing middle blocker's lateral close.
Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:
"Same shape every rep""Target the back of the rim""Fast wrists on the shoot"

Why Recommended for Coaches:

Teaches setters the difference between merely hittable sets and high-tempo, consistent sets that give attackers open seams.
