Volleyball Serve Drills For Beginners To use To Weaponize Short Serves

Short serves can really disrupt an opposing team's planned offensive plays which is why we do these types of volleyball serve drills for beginners  




Want to know why short serves can really disrupt an opposing team's offense?

Because short serves are hard to pass because a player has to

  • quickly move forward towards the net which reduces the area they have to pass the ball
  • then they need to drop their hips while
  • adjusting the angle of their platform arms
  • using great passing technique to pass the ball

and keep it on their side of the net.

The forward movement has to be stopped early enough so that the momentum doesn't push the passed ball over the net where the setter can't set the second ball.

That's pretty tough to do if you don't regularly practice passing short serves.

Volleyball Serve Drills for Beginners:

Players serve balls To Zone 2 then shag their ball before going to the opposite side to serve to Zone 2 from the other side of the court. 

Where is Zone 2?

Zone 2 is the right front area of the court that goes from the furthest right side corner of the court starting at the net and continuing back to about two feet behind the ten foot line. 

The question is have you done enough short serve reps in practice to feel confident to rip a short serve…. at tie score in the fifth set?


In your volleyball serve drills for beginners ...did you serve 100 reps every day this week to make sure serving short is in your box of magic tricks?
