    From First Touch to Floor General — A Deep Dive into the Setter Position with Rayn Perry

    Today on Block & Talk, we’re joined by Southern Alberta standout Rayn Perry — a high-level setter, leader, and co-founder of Panther Volleyball Club whose journey has taken her from Kate Andrews High School to competing at the U SPORTS level with both the University of Toronto and UBC Okanagan. Rayn’s story is one of growth, leadership, and mastering one of the most complex positions in volleyball. From her early days in the game to becoming a captain and on-court decision-maker, she’s developed a deep understanding of what it truly means to run an offence. In this episode, we break down the setter position far beyond just “putting the ball up.” Rayn shares insight into the technical, tactical, and mental demands of setting — including footwork, handwork, eyework, and how elite setters think the game in real time. We also dive into: How setters evolve into leaders and floor generalsWhat separates good setters from great onesHow to make decisions under pressure and run an offence effectivelyThe importance of communication, trust, and building relationships with hittersDeveloping volleyball IQ through film, coaching, and experienceHandling pressure, mistakes, and in-game adversityWhether you’re a young setter, a coach, or just a student of the game, this episode is packed with practical insight and high-level thinking that can elevate your understanding of volleyball. 🔥 If you want to think the game better, lead with confidence, and truly understand the setter position — this episode is for you.
