Answer 1

start by throwing the ball out a ways in front of you kinda like setting yourself up at the net take your approach from the ten foot line and hit it then take a few steps back and repeat and if you miss work on that spot till you get it over and then eventually you will be able to serve from the serving line make sure to watch the ball and make good contact on it kinda lean into it and kick your feet really high and use your abs for power.

Answer 3

These are step by step instructions for a right handed player to perform a jump serve.  Left handed players need only to reverse their footsteps in these instructions.  Submitted by Kevin Medeiros.

Difficulty: Average

Time Required: 8 seconds

Here's How:

Position yourself 3 long strides from the end line

Take one long step forward with your left leg

During your second step toss the ball high and in front of you. You should toss the ball high enough so that you can hit the ball after your third step

Take your third step and then plant your right foot behind your left and jump

Make contact with the ball on its decent and hit the top-center of the ball

Allow yourself to land on or over the end line with your momentum moving you straight towards the net

Tips:

Focus on balance. If you find yourself falling on your landing or landing off the right then you are overthrowing the ball

If you are landing short of the line you are under tossing the ball. The most important thing in this serve is timing

Try tossing the ball with backspin to get the desired top spin at contact

The best way to learn is try a one step approach, then two and finally three steps. This will help you focus on your toss
