Training Levels:
-

(Developmental)
This tier is intentionally built for athletes who are new to the setting position or have one year or less of focused training. Whether you’re a beginner looking to explore the position or a coach or parent hoping to get your athlete on the right track early — this program is for you.
In this progressive training program, athletes will develop:
Proper hand positioning and shape
Foundational footwork and movement patterns
Rhythm and timing with the ball
Body control, balance, and spatial awareness
Early mental cues and decision-making
-

(Advanced)
This is the highest level of training in Setter Country — intentionally crafted for athletes who are currently competing at the high school varsity or collegiate level, or who are striving to get there.
If you are 15 years or older (or have been evaluated and approved via private session), and you're ready to train like a top-tier setter — this is your program.
This is not a beginner’s space. This is where good setters become great, and great setters become game-changing leaders.
Athletes in Tier 3 will be pushed technically, mentally, and physically with a curriculum that includes:
Advanced tempo setting (off multiple tempos and broken plays)
Location precision and repeatability under fatigue
Decision-making and disguise in transition and out-of-system sets
Leadership and communication training as a floor general
Setter/hitter chemistry and eye sequencing work
Film review, game IQ development, and real-scenario reps
