03 · On-court execution
  1. Middle reads the setter then chooses left or right close after release.
  2. Call close responsibilities between middle and pin blocker before attack contact.
  3. Do not jump on an unconfirmed set cue.
  4. Log each repetition according to this measure: Zero uncalled seams across the set.
04 · Suggested training dose

12 minutes

8 balls in the starting series, with rest adjusted to quality and player level.

05 · Measured success criterion

Zero uncalled seams across the set.

Record attempts, success and errors; do not infer progress from volume alone.

06 · Safety and adaptation

Keep landing lanes clear, reduce repetitions when jump quality drops and maintain safe net clearance.
