  1. There are three parts to a jump serve: the toss, the approach, and the swing.  I'm not sure what you mean by the "two basic jump serves," though.  Anyway, the most important part is the toss.  Without a good toss, you will never have a good serve.  So get that toss consistant.  Next, you want to be hitting the ball at the peak of your jump.  Then swing at it as if it were a long back row hit.  Then practice it.  A lot.  Once you've finished practicing it, practice it some more.

    Also, if your serve on the ground is better than your jump serve, stick to that.  There is no point in going to a weaker serve just to say that you can do it.  I actually encourage people to stay on the ground and perfect that unless they have a wicked jump serve.


  2. serve the ball up and then hit or do a under hand?!!!!!!!!!! in ameria though dude this is ower way just playyin lol sike!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  3. do the basic: throw up the ball with your serving hand, left right left jump, and serve but do a lot more topspin and sidespin to make it harder all you have to do is change how you hit it.

  4. itd not the kind of serve that makes it weak its how u hit it.

    im trying to get good jump serves too.

  5. Ok, My Coach, (he played on the National Team) taught us the jump floater serve, which is the second most effective serve in Volleyball. If you've ever played basketball before, it would really help. You start be facing the right wall (sideways against the court) with the ball in your left hand. (everything will be backwards if you are left handed) Just like a lay-up, you step left, right, left, and on your second left step you bring your right knee up and hop. (this is where basketball came in handy for me) your hop doesn't need to be very high off the ground. When you throw up the ball on your second left step, it doesn't need to be very high. It needs to be low so that you can hit it while you are still in the air. When you contact the ball, contact it with an open hand right in the middle of the palm. You should hear a slight pop, and if you hit the ball correctly (DO NOT HIT IT ON YOUR FINGERTIPS!!) it should be a floater and soar over the net!!!

    Hope this isn't too confusing. Good Luck!
