2 Tips For Volleyball Using Strategies To Control The Pace Of The Game

There are two specific tips for volleyball you can use, to control or change the speed of the game when you're playing volleyball.

Tips For Volleyball
Walk Back To Serve

Most players do this so they can take advantage of taking as much time as possible to get set up to serve the ball before the referee blows the whistle to start the rally. (Mark Shaiken)

This first tip for volleyball may not seem like a crafty thing to do during a game, but walking back to serve the ball every so often during a match is one thing that can improve your serve.

Serious players on the court, are in the habit of hustling to get from one position or one zone to the next.

Usually it is a good idea to jog back to the service line when its time for you to serve.

Most players do this so they can take advantage of taking as much time as possible to get set up to serve the ball before the referee blows the whistle to start the rally.

But when you run back to the service line to serve the ball you are potentially speeding up the rhythm of the game.

The sooner you get behind the service line, the faster the referee sees you are ready to start the rally, so he blows his whistle, which starts the rally at a faster rate.

When playing volleyball the sooner you get behind the service line, the faster the referee sees you are ready to start the rally.

Sometimes its necessary to give your front row hitters a chance to catch their breath.

Let's say your team has lost a few points in a row to a team that runs a pretty quick offense. Then, you and your teammates fight through a long rally and you all manage to win the sideout.

Far the last few plays, the opposing team has been running a quick offense so they're the ones who've been controlling the speed of the game.

Now, that your team has won the ball back, do you want to run back quickly and serve the ball, keeping the same pace of the game that your opponents have established?

Or do you want to slow things down a bit to establish your own team's rhythm?

If you slow things down, then

you give the middle blockers on your team a chance to catch their breath and
your setter has a few more seconds to talk about team strategies and volleyball tactics to the blockers while your team is rotating and setting up to play defense.

Without risking a yellow card or getting a 'delay of game' warning, you can change the rhythm of the game by walking instead of running back to the service line.

The referee will wait for you to be in position behind the end line before blowing the whistle to start the rally.

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.
