Video Training Tip: Triangle Dig

Brian Begor, Renaissance Volleyball Club, Pittsburgh, PA, shares his triangle dig drill.

Drill for Success: Deep Court Triples, One Setter

This drill improves ball control, efficient attacking, setter accuracy and physical endurance.

Defenders will play deep court triples. All sets must be behind the 10’ line. The defenders attempt to dig and go to attack, jump and swing.
The setter is responsible for ALL second contacts on both sides. They set and quickly go to the other court to be ready to set. The setter has every second contact, regardless of where the first contact puts the ball. The defenders must accurately dig the ball so the setter can successfully set both sides. Goal: Set 10 balls in a row

Rules Trivia

Marcia Alterman, NCAA Rules interpreter, explains whether jersey numbers may be changed during play.

FACT OR FICTION? Players are not allowed to change numbers after a match has begun. For example, a player whose jersey number is peeling off must safety pin that number back on to the jersey rather than change numbers.

FICTION! New language in Rule 7.1.2.8 allows a player to change jerseys and number (if necessary) in case of a damaged jersey.
