Vande Berg’s keys
1. Keep your hands open and in the shape of a ball.
2. Pull your thumbs back so they aren’t in the way of the set.
3. Let the ball come to you. When you make the set, each finger should touch the ball.
4. Pop the ball out of your hands by extending your elbows and straightening your wrists and fingers.
5. Keep your lower body balanced and don’t lean in any direction.
6. When you set, push your weight onto your right foot.
7. Consistent sets have the same tempo and distance, which helps your hitters’ timing.
