Tactical thinking is a critical factor in the outcome of a volleyball game, so it must be trained and implemented in every match, as training sessions, friendly matches, or competition. The coach must know the main tactical flaws of the team to be able to address these problems. Accordingly, this paper aimed to developing a set of theoretical and practical exercises to improve the tactical thinking of 13-15-year-old junior volleyball setters, at the Cerro Pelado Starter Sports School in Camaguey (EIDE). Several methods and techniques were used in this research, namely theoretical, empirical, and statistical. The diagnostic permitted checking the development of tactical thinking. The main issue was associated with the technical-tactical work of setters, evidencing little effectiveness in their performance, as well as targeting tactical situations and problems along the training sessions and in competition. The exercise system included individual and group actions by the setters.
