The best volleyball serve is one that travels fast and low over the net to a spot on the court that makes it difficult for an opposing player to pass it to their setter.

Since the serve is your first opportunity to score a direct point, you want to make a tough well directed serve...either to a weak passer or to a strategic spot on the court that puts the opposing team's passers in difficulty. 


For a good volleyball serve keep         a balanced stance and           consistent toss with your elbow high then use the middle of your         flat hand to contact the         middle panels of the ball.


In the pages below, you'll find more serving strategy where you learn what spots on the court to place the ball so you end up with the best volleyball serve that consistently scores points for you and your team.

     How To Serve In Volleyball      Two Tips On How To Develop A Tough Serve


In order to learn how to serve for points, you need to develop two things

  • tough serving skills 
  • an aggressive mindset 

Why do you want to develop a good volleyball serve?

Once you've learned the basics on serving then you want to take advantage of your serving opportunity because its the one skill in volleyball that you do alone - which you and only you... control...

This means

  • you can make it easy 
  • you can make it difficult

for the opposing squad to easily run a play and score points against your team. 


Okay so you need a few more tips so that you can score more aces with a good volleyball serve, right?
Here's where you start...


Frequently Asked Questions About Proper Volleyball Serve Technique


1. How can I improve my volleyball serve?

Regular practice is key to improvement. Additionally, you can focus on elements such as having a consistent toss, utilizing your whole body for the serve, aiming for different target areas on the court, and varying the speed and spin of your serve.

It can also be beneficial to work with a coach or more experienced players for specific tips and feedback.



2. What kind of serve gives the most control?

For beginners, the underhand serve will most likely provide the most control. As your skills improve, you might find that the overhand serve gives you a good balance of control and power.



3. How can I make my serves more powerful?

Power in serving comes from a combination of arm swing speed, timing, and body momentum.

Working on your physical strength, particularly in your core and serving arm, can also help generate more power in your serves.

4. What is the most difficult type of serve to return?

It can be subjective and depends on the skills of the receiver. Usually, many players find the float serve difficult to return due to its unpredictable trajectory. A well-executed jump serve can also be very challenging to return due to its speed and power.




Listen to what I tell Addi about being aggressive with her armswing. 

Working on her floater in volleyball serve today we did 100 reps of the same serve to the same spot so we could problem solve and work on every body part movement...where things go so when its time to do everything faster...we have smoothed out and understood all the possible wrinkles. 


5. Can I touch the line while serving in volleyball?

No, you cannot touch the line. While serving, you need to stay behind the end line until you have contacted the ball.

Stepping on or over the line before the ball has been hit is considered a foot fault, and results in the serve going to the other team.



6. Why is my serve going into the net/too long?

If your serves are going into the net, it may be because you could be making contact too low on the ball or you are not generating enough power with your pre-serve technique.

If your serves are too long, you may be swinging at the ball too hard, with too much follow through, too high, or leaning back too much on contact.

Making adjustments in these areas can help improve your serves. I love to help my clients identify what they need to do in order to develop a consistently tough serve.

Remember that volleyball is about teamwork, skill, and most importantly, enjoyment! Train hard, play fair, and always enjoy the game.
