How is the 'set' in beach volleyball executed?

Sinjin Smith (Volleyball Player) gives expert video advice on: How is the 'set' in beach volleyball executed?; How is a 'bump set' different to a set?; Is it better to set with your hands or to use a bump set? and more...

The set is a difficult part of the game but very important, because without a good set you're not going to get a good spike. The first thing that you need to do is move your feet to get completely underneath the ball. You get your hands above your head and it's one motion - the set is one motion up with your arms and legs - through the ball. You start here, get all the way under the ball, contact the ball, one motion up through the ball. Your thumbs, your fingers, and your wrists are loose. When you contact the ball your thumbs release out. From here, underneath the ball, one motion up, and through the ball.
