The set point is the transition point between the lifting motion of the shot and the actual shooting motion.

Most young players start off with a set point around their chest or chin. This forces their hand to be on the back of the ball because they can't get underneath it. And they can't get their shooting hand under the middle of the ball, which forces them to push with their guide hand.

We need to continue LIFTING a little higher and get a set point up around the forehead so there is room to get under the ball.

Just be aware this is hard for younger players because it requires more strength, so be patient with developing this habit. You don't need to be perfect, just slowly improve.
