The setter is the hub of your offense. She sets the team’s rhythm, helps attackers get in a flow, filters strategic information to teammates, and makes critical decisions about who to set each time the ball comes over the net. As coach, it’s your job to train your setter to be the court captain who will lead your team to victory.

In the Setter Coaching Certification Course, you’ll get access to 4.5 hours of detailed instruction, video analysis, diagrams and drills from Christy Johnson-Lynch, a former two-time All-American setter and the winningest coach in Iowa State University history.

Topics include:

  • Identifying the 6 athletic qualities to look for in a setter
  • Tapping the ONE setting skill that outweighs all others
  • Teaching your setters to execute different types of sets
  • Explaining the keys to jump setting and dumping
  • Training your setters to fool the block
  • Fixing common setting errors
  • Avoiding pitfalls when evaluating your setters

  1. Thorough discussion of complex position

    5

    I would highly recommend this video training series to coaches from beginning to advanced teams. There is solid information to begin your knowledge or add to your knowledge of the setting position. I found the psychological aspects discussed to be thought provoking. The fundamentals were well covered and demonstrated. Well done by Art of Coaching and Christy Johnson Lynch.

  2. Excellent!

    This training is outstanding for the beginning level coach to the advanced. Christy Johnson-Lynch has an excellent perspective on the position. She explains the details well and has demonstrations that assist in visualizing the key components of setting. I recommend this unit of study highly.

  3. Setter Certification Review

    5

    Felt good about this course. At times, it was necessarily basic but there were many instances where the information was leaning to an advanced level; a level necessary for intermediate to advanced level coaching. I will review the sessions as our club season begins. Thank you!

  4. 4

    I found the nine sections to be comprehensive covering fundamentals such as hand position all the way through to basic mental empathy for setters. While there are 48 videos, they are portable and succinct in bite-sized portions. This allowed me to take the course at my pace while I balanced other life and family responsibilities. In summary, the course is a great “One Stop Shop” of the various topics found throughout the AOC website and clinics. Thank you Christy and your staff for taking the time to deliver a very helpful program.
