How do I jump serve in volleyball?

Question

I need to learn how to make my high school team.

Answer 1

Well u start like 8 to 10 feet away from the place of serving u throw the ball up but try to calculate it so that it does not go way out there but try to throw it up so that it gets like 1 to 2 ft. away from the serve line.Run to the ball Jump and hit the ball as of u were spiking.

Answer 2

well it's also called a "spike serve" but here's how to do it

Instructions

STEP 1: See where your opponents are lining up and aim for the open court.

STEP 2: Know your opponents' weaknesses and serve accordingly.

STEP 3: Stand 4 to 6 feet behind the back line.

STEP 4: Toss the ball with your most comfortable hand and put it in a spot that allows you to spike the ball from that distance.

STEP 5: Jump up and perform your usual spike movements

STEP 6: Use your whole body - arms, wrists, abs and hips - to hit the ball.

Here's how to "spike" the ball:

STEP 1: Position yourself three to four strides from the net. STEP 2: Anticipate where the ball is going so you can jump and intercept it with the palm of your hitting hand at the extent of your reach, above and slightly forward of your head.

STEP 3: Explode to that interception point with your first step (your right foot, if you're right-handed), raising both hands in front of your torso.

STEP 4: Take two quick small steps (left, right) to gather your feet under you (with knees bent), while simultaneously swinging your arms behind you like a pendulum.

STEP 5: Swing your hands forward and up while jumping; this helps you rocket into the air and places you in proper hitting position.

STEP 6: Draw your right hand back behind your head as you rise, so your open palm faces the sky - like a waiter carrying a tray.

STEP 7: Point your left hand at the ball, as if you're lining it up in your gun sight (actually, you are).

STEP 8: Hammer the ball with your open right hand, snapping the wrist and swiveling your torso to put the maximum amount of topspin and velocity on it.

STEP 9: Accept the praise of your teammates if the opposing team can't keep the ball in play - you've just recorded a 'kill.'

Here's how to "bump" the ball:

STEP 1: Remember that the first contact after a serve is normally the bump, which sets in motion the three-step volleyball offense of bump, set, spike .

STEP 2: Anticipate the flight of the ball so that you can receive it in a stationary, athletic position with your knees bent, your weight forward on the balls of your feet, and your arms extended forward and down.

STEP 3: Hold your palms open and facing up, and then lay one hand on top of the other.

STEP 4: Fold your hands inward until your thumbs are side by side, pointing away from your body and slightly down. The knuckles of your fingers should be facing out.

STEP 5: Bring in your elbows and lock them so that your forearms are as close to touching as possible, creating a flat platform from your elbows to the tips of your thumbs.

STEP 6: Tilt your platform toward your target.

STEP 7: Allow the ball to bounce off your forearms (rather than swinging your arms at it).

SETTING the ball:

STEP 1: Remember that the first contact when receiving a serve is usually a bump, or pass to the setter (normally positioned near the net to the right of center court), so always anticipate receiving the ball if you've been designated as this player.

STEP 2: Intercept the pass at the net (if it's a good pass). Make contact with the ball about 1 foot over your head.

STEP 3: Hold your hands above your forehead with your thumbs and index fingers nearly touching, making a diamond shape, with the rest of your fingers spread open.

STEP 4: Bend your knees..

STEP 5: Push up with your legs and arms, snapping the ball upward with your hands in the direction in which you'd like it to go (as though you're Superman flying). Ideally, this causes the ball to 'hang' in the air without rotating, resting at the peak of its flight in the perfect position for the hitter to hammer away.

BLOCKING:

STEP 1: Follow the set and line up with the hitter.

STEP 2: Focus on the hitter to read where he or she is going to hit and how hard.

STEP 3: Stand as close to the net as possible without hitting it. STEP 4: Jump up straight with big arms and open hands.

STEP 5: Reach over the net and down to cut off the hitter's angles. STEP 6: Go after the ball and "grab it" on a tight set.

Answer 3

it is just like spiking accept you do not hit it down you toss it up high and jump and hit it is hard at first but if you practice it is easy

Answer 4

A high toss in front of you. Approach like you're hitting. Toss with the hand you are going to hit with.

Answer 5

Well, you don't need to jump serve to make your high school team, you just need to know how to over hand serve.

To jump serve you have to stand 5-6 feet away from the end line, throw the ball really high and about 1-2 feet from the end line, you then jump to the ball and hit it like you're overhand serving.

Hope this helps. Good Luck with your volleyball tryouts. =)

Answer 6

you don't need to know how to jump serve to make your high school volleyball team.

when i made my high school team, i could barely even serve overhand.

even if you're hoping to make varsity, they shouldn't require you to jump serve. if you need that to make it, then boy, you have got one kick-butt team.

Answer 7

Jump.  Then serve

Answer 8

throw it up and do your approach to spike it over 솓 ㅜㄷㅅ

Answer 9

throw the ball up high jump and hit.

Answer 10

you don't have to learn it ,just practice it because volleyball is your talent and talents cannot be learned it should be improve.i can't also do jump serve b4 but now i know because i practice hard.i'm a varsity in our school.you just need practice and you'll get it.good luck.

Answer 11

i dont think u need to know how to jump serve to be in high school.. but this is how:

when u r serving, throw the ball up, then when the volleyball is still in the air, jump up and hit it with ur fist, or another way u were taught to hit it.. sometimes u dont need to jump, but for me, it gives me more momentum..(or however u spell it)

Answer 12

the gist of it is, jump serving is like hitting a down ball (some people call it a 10 or a pipe).  make sure you toss the ball in front of you, and preferably you would want to toss it with a backspin so when you contact the ball you get a top spin kind of serve.  make sure you contact the ball at the peak of your jump... this would probably make or break your serve, because timing is everything on a jump serve, so i would practice your toss, and work on your swing.. good luck.. :)

Answer 13

That's an advanced move that some highschool public league stars don't know how to do.

In other words, you don't have to learn it to get onto the team. But if you do, just learn to do regular serves good and have your coach teach you that move once you're more experienced.

I've been on my schools varsity team for two years now and I still don't know how to do a spike serve that well. I may get it every now and then but like dunking in basketball, I'd never try it in a game. But my regular serves are just bada$$ and that's all I need to know for now.
