Lauren Carlini • The Art of Coaching Volleyball

Team USA Olympic Setter & 4x NCAA All-American

Session Overview

Four-time All-American and Team USA setter Lauren Carlini breaks down the footwork and timing of the jump set. She explains how to plant balanced left-right footwork, contact the ball at the peak of the jump, and hold opposing blockers by keeping a neutral body line.

Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles

Establish a balanced left-right plant underneath the ball so your jump is strictly vertical rather than drifting.
Release the ball at the true apex of your jump to maximize offensive tempo and avoid losing power on the way down.
Keep your core engaged and shoulders square in the air so you can set front, back, or dump from the exact same frame.

Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:

"Left-right balanced plant""Set at the peak""Neutral core in the air"

Why Recommended for Coaches:

Direct instruction from one of the best jump-setters in American volleyball on how to speed up your offense and freeze middle blockers.
