Coastal Setting Academy

Coastal Setting Academy / (CSA) is a program that has been providing participants with elite training and

comprehensive instruction in volleyball setting since 2015.  CSA provides developing setters with regular technical

training, instruction, and repetitions.  CSA advantage goes beyond fundamentals with advanced tactical training and

skill refinement.  Both CSA and CSA Advantage are designed to help participants develop into highly efficient,

capable, and confident setters.

CSA - All academy participants are instructed in the basics of the setting position including footwork to the ball,

hand position, release on the ball, and setting tempo.  Participants train for speed, accuracy, consistency, and

decision-making.  While all participants learn the same foundations of setting, they will also learn (when appropriate)

more advanced techniques such as jump setting, tracking the block, holding opposing middle blockers, and game

strategy.  CSA is also beneficial to athletes interested in learning to set.

CSA Advantage - provides advanced tactical training and skill refinement for fundamentally sound setters.

Training includes match management, flow and counter-flow, creating one-on-ones, out-of-system success, and setter

attack.  CSA Advantage is intended for high level club and/or high school setters who are fundamentally sound, ages

14-18.  Participants MUST be invited or approved by program director Stephen Shepherd.
