TECHNIQUE BASED
VOLLEYBALL TRAINING REDEFINING SETTER SUCCESS
WHO WE ARE
SetterU began in 2015 by Jesi Grisham-Perez, a former Division 1 setter. SetterU began as a passion project for Jesi, inspired by her belief that setters are the heartbeat of the team—constantly involved with every play, always under pressure, yet often overlooked. Even though they touch the ball more than anyone else on the court, they typically receive the least amount of feedback and support. Jesi created SetterU to change that narrative and empower setters with the tools and coaching they need and deserve.
SetterU is not just a training program. It is a community all about character, integrity, and accountability. We aim to create not just high level setters but also confident leaders. We focus on fixing bad habits, getting reps in the right way, and helping you stay motivated to keep improving on your own. We want to work with athletes who are self-driven and passionate about the sport. You can get reps anywhere, but we dig into the fine details and little things. We think this deep dive into the technical side is crucial for mastering such a specialized position. If you want to chase your dreams and reach your full potential, SetterU is right for you.
OUR 4 STEP PROCESS
You must complete all 4 before becoming a member of SetterU. Happy Hands and Fancy feet are interchangeable for step 2 and 3. You can do those in either order. Intro must be done first, and Open is done after Hands and Feet.
You are welcome to attend other ONE HOUR CLINICS such as Back Setting, Quick Setting, Jump Setting, Reps, Reps, Reps during this process.
Our Intro to SetterU class is specifically for those who are new to our program. You will learn about SetterU and the technical concepts that you will work to to master while training with us. This is a 60 minute session; 15 minute presentation and 45 minute introduction to our techniques and drills.
Intro to SetterU
HAPPY HANDS
Open sessions are for those who have completed Intro, Happy hands and Fancy feet. In this 90 minute open session, we will work more in depth on your hands and footwork and you will get a lot of repetitions to try and develop muscle memory with your technique.
OPEN SESSION
Happy Hands are designed for technical training on upper body position, hand shape, wrist flexion, finger strength and overall touch. You will work on your own on the wall with a ball as well as with a partner.
FANCY FEET
Fancy Feet sessions are designed to improve your footwork and efficiency in movement to the ball. We will teach you different footwork patterns to develop muscle memory for different scenarios around the court.
MEMBERSHIP: INVITE ONly
Once you’ve completed the 4 step process, and you’d like to continue on with our program — attend member sessions and request private lessons, we will review all of the necessary skills to be a high level athlete and leader; communication, hands, footwork, movement to the ball, set location, accuracy, “setter” personality and coach ability to name a few. We will then decide if/when you receive an invite to our program.
SetterU is intense and not for everyone and not all athletes will be invited to join as a member. If you’re not immediately invited, we still welcome you to attend Happy Hands, Fancy Feet, all of our ONE HOUR CLINICS and Open sessions. Please trust that we are committed to each setter’s growth and believe that keeping groups small with like skilled athletes ensures the best training experience for everyone.
