Answer 1

You don't have to be tall. You have to be able to move fast. To serve overhand with right hand: start with both feet together, and your right hand up like you are grabbing your ponytail. Take a step with your left foot as you swing your right arm over and hit the ball. (Sometimes it helps to aim with your left hand before hitting it with your right.) To spike, step left, then right, and swing your body up. Aim with your left hand and hit downwards with your right. Good luck.

Answer 2

SERVE

1. Make sure you are lined up correctly

-Put your feet together at a 45 degree angle

-Spread them apart to where you are comfortable, keeping them at the proper angle.

2. Align you tossing hand

-Your hand should be parallel to your hitting arm, not straight out in front of you.

3. Toss

-Keeping your tossing hand parallel to hitting hand, gently lift the ball STRAIGHT UP so it doesn't move behind your head.

4. Steps

-At this moment, your right foot should be behind your left. When approaching the ball, there are two options.

a. The One-Step

-Take one small step with your left foot.

b. The Two-Step

-Take one small step with your right foot, and then another with your left.

5. Strike

-The ball is in the air, and you bring your hitting arm back, up, and using your palm (not your fist) you will hit the ball in it's center, and still watching the ball, snap your wrist to add topspin.

-Finish your serve by bringing your arm to your thigh, this will add power and direction.

SPIKE

1. Start with your right foot in front.

-Step, left, rightleft, really fast like that

-Pump your arms and swing really hard, following through
