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.

Need help with getting the ball over the net when you serve? Read my article Volleyball Serve: Use A Float Serve or Jump Serve?

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.

Serving slang is not just about individual techniques; it also relates to overall game strategy. A coach might instruct a player to serve a "short serve" or a "deep serve" to target specific areas of the opponent's court or exploit weaknesses in their serve receive formation.

Ari, my private training client and I are working specifically on serving on jump float cross court serves ...short to Zone 2

There's so much we work on to get to this point where she can contact the ball with

the same toss height and same toss location
the same armswing speed
the same timing for when her serving hand contacts the ball
the middle of the hand contacting the middle of the ball every single time
getting use to watching her serving hand contact the ball at the highest point of her jump ...before she starts to land
and finally contacting the ball in the precise spot on the ball so it goes where the coach wants the player to put it so in this case ..a short serve in the farthest short right corner on the court also called Zone 2.
