How do you do a jump serve?

Question

what are the steps to do a jump serve and how far back do you have 2 be

Answer 1

Step3 Stand 4 to 6 feet behind the back line.

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

Jump up and perform your usual spike movements

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

Answer 2

You have to be behind the line

Other than that I know little about volleyball

Answer 3

i learned how to jump serve by actually practicing at the net.

if you know how to hit; you can jump serve. anyway;

go up to the net. toss the ball to yourself and hit it. thats the exact way you should jump serve.

when you go back to the line to serve.

throw the ball up with one hand, do your hitting approach, and smack the ball. make sure to reach as high as you can so it gets over the net.

Answer 4

Start far behind the line

Throw the ball up fairly high with the hand that you serve the ball with.

RIGHT HANDED- take a long stride with your left foot, a long stride with your right foot, then a short with your left, as you would when you hit the ball.

LEFT HANDED- same thing with opposite feet.

Jump off of both feet, with your left foot slightly in front, and the ball should be right where you would want to hit it.

Practice the toss over and over before you start hitting the ball.

Keep working on it. It took me half of a season but i now have one of the best jump serves in my high school

Good luck!

Answer 5

You have to throw the ball high and in front of you, then do your spike approach. Only instead of hitting the ball down (as you would in a spike) hit it out. This takes a lot of practice, but it's definitely do-able. And how far back you have to be depends on how much room it takes you to do your spike approach, or wherever you're comfortable with it.
