Help! I keep tossing the ball in underhand serving?

Question

how do I stop it drives my coaches nuts. and they have tried everything form holding my arm when I serve to making me hit it just a little and then gradually add more power but once I hit it with more power I start to throw it. I am jgetting it over the net it just really bugs them.

Answer 1

What if you tape the volleyball to your hand for a little bit so that you can work on your form of not tossing the ball?  Or maybe you could try to do some sort of negative reinforcements for yourself everytime you toss the ball in the air before serving, such as pushups, burpie block jumps, sit ups, etc.?

Answer 2

Just keep practicing holding it until it becomes a habit.  Keep reminding yourself not to throw it, its a bad habit and your serves will not be as consistent.  If this doesn't help then try a different approach, like by serving overhand.

Hope this helps!
