Answer 1

It's okay, just calm down. Remember to "high-five" the ball in the middle of it. If you are nervous just take a couple seconds to gather your strength. You have a couple seconds before you have to serve. My friend says it helps if you grunt, but it hasn't helped/harmed my serving. Remember to just calm down and concentrate.  

Answer 2

lift weights

Answer 3

      The best way that i know is to start some what close to the net and once you can get it over most of the time from that spot move back a couple of feet and repeat until you can get it from all the way back.  You will have to do this everyday and you might have to do it for awhile.  

      

And make sure that you open your hand all the way up (you shouldn't have it in a fist because you won't have any control) and you should hit it kind of on the bottom of your hand.

      

I have also learned over my years of playing volleyball is that the more simple your serve is the easier it will be to get it over.  If you are right handed you should start about 1 or 2 feet from the line and put your left foot a little bit forward then take one step forward with you left foot and hit it.  You should also throw it up with your left hand and not throw it very high (the higher you throw it the more time the ball has to move out of control)

      

  And if you are left handed then you should just reverse everything!

Answer 5

Serving a Volleyball

Steps

1. If you are a righty, place your right foot towards the net, slightly in front of your left foot. Your left heel should be in the middle of you right foot. If you are a lefty, do the opposite for all of these directions.

2. Hold the ball with both of your hands for maximum control. You should be holding it in front of your left foot.

3. Toss the ball in front of your hitting hand. The toss should be as far out as your arm can go and as high up as you arm can go. This may not be exact so practice finding the right height for you. After you have tossed, you should put your right arm up by your ear, as far back as it can go. Your elbow should be above your shoulder.

4. Swing your right hand forward, reaching as high as possible. Contact the ball with your whole hand, not a fist.

5. Once you have mastered the serve, trying flicking your wrist when you hit the ball for some spin.

6. Step on your left foot as soon as you hit the ball.

7. Get into position again right away. You never know when the other team will return it.

Tips

* Perfect your underhand serve first, so if you mess up, you are always confident with that!

* Make sure that the ball is filled with air or else it will fall flat on the ground.

* Practice makes perfect, so practice this a lot!

* Switch right/left depending on what hand is more comfortable for you.

* Toss ball ahead of you and snap your wrist upon contact to create topspin which makes the ball dive as it crosses the net.

* Practice serving in different ways like holding your arm higher or spotting the ball with your left hand-remember:serve the way that you feel the most comfortable doing.

* Don't punch the ball, swing at it.

* To get the ball to go straighter over the net throw the ball out a little more.

* Spend some time practicing only your throw cause it can mess up the whole serve.

* Using your momentum can help a lot especially if you have a small body.

* Take a few steps or none, depending on how comfortable you feel.

* Make sure not to "slap" the ball.

Warnings

* This may cause stress on your arm, so warm up before serving.

* The rule has changed about letting the ball drop after initiating a serve. Once you toss the ball to serve, you have to serve it. If you let the ball drop, it's a side-out.
