The overhead pass is typically referred to as the set . The execution of most volleyball skills requires effective movement of players prior to contacting the ball. When executing a set, focus on moving your feet to the ball and squaring your shoulders to the target, lifting your hands and forming a shape similar to the vol­leyball, and using the extension of your arms and legs to push the set high into the air.
To be able to square your shoul­ders in the direction of your intended set, you need to arrive at the spot where the ball is heading.It’s very important to get there before the ball does. Once you have arrived, it is important to get your hands up quickly and have your body in an athletic stance with your feet stag­gered and your knees bent comfort­ably. It is preferable to have your right foot forward, especially if a serve reception forces you near the net.
