Overhead Set Shape

What you will learn

Develop soft hand contact for an overhead set. This TRAINOVIX lesson shows a simple setup, a specific practice action and a way to notice your progress without rushing.

Practice step by step

1. Begin with gentle ball movements in a clear, shared practice area.
2. Stand under a gently tossed ball with clear space.
3. Form a relaxed hand window above the forehead and push the ball upward using legs and fingers together.
4. Check that the ball travels upward without spinning wildly.
5. Repeat easy feeds, then try the movement with teammates when ready.

Coaching tips

• Use light tosses and comfortable contact.
• Call early and keep enough room for everyone to move.

How to progress

Start with the simplest version of the activity. Give yourself enough time to learn the movement, ask for feedback when useful, and choose a more challenging variation only when your practice feels comfortable and controlled.
