Do i have a chance if i can't overhand serve?

Question

i can underhand serve really well but my overhands rarely go over. so could i make the high school team if all my other skills are good?

Answer 1

Yes, I think you can. Honestly though, it really depends on the coaches but more than likely you will get chosen if your skills are descent.

There are a few on my team who serve underhand all the time and are very good at it. They can control where the ball goes and make it hit certain players. It's actually very good.

I say keep practicing on your overhand serve. Start with a high toss and put all your power into your hand to really hit the ball. It will come to you in time. My close friend had the same problem.

Have fun!

Answer 2

yes. if you can do everything else better. the coach just probablly wont let you serve.

Answer 3

Yes i would say u are. if ur good at eveyrthing else. but dont give up on serving practice practice practice

Answer 4

Possibly. Since you are probably trying out for the freshman team you can have a chance. But they will really try to teach you overhand. It's important that you learn how to overhand because although you may be good at underhand, you get more power and control when you overhand. So maybe practice and practice before tryouts because I'm sure they will ask you to do overhand and other players will be doing that too.

Answer 5

you'll problly have a good chance of getting picked, but serving is the most important thing in volleyball. If you do get on the team, you'll probablly have to learn how. Its not all that hard once you get the hang of it. I suggest lifting weights to build arm strength for more power. This really helps. Ask your coach to help you and maybe they could tell you what youre doing wrong and give you tips. Another thing that helps is a positive attitude-you'd really be surprised. Just keep trying until you get it. Good luck!  

Answer 6

well i hate to be blunt but no, not usually. even though passing (bumping) is the most important skill in volleyball, without an overhand serve you will never be able to start a game, underhand serves r just too easy to return, keep practicing overhand and if you need any tips on delivering a good overhand serve, feel free to email me
