Answer 1

Overhand serve:

1) Throw the ball over head about 2 feet with non-dominant hand

2) Have your hand up ready to hit (timing is hard at first)

3) Some people practically wrap their hand around the ball and hit as hard as they can

I open up my hand big, spread all my fingers and stuff out and smack it with my palm very hard

Stuff you can do to help:

1) Lift weights and swim while holding weights

This helps build muscles in your arm to hit better

2) PRACTICE! =]

Answer 2

Hit the ball wit hthe bottom of your palm as hard as you can. Imagine the ball ball is someone you hate and smack the ball with the BOTTOM OF YOUR PALM!

Answer 3

i would stretch your serving arm a lot. i would practice hitting it towards a wall, or towards the ground.  you probably dont have time, but lifting weights would be great and give you the power you need.  also, make sure to be completely focused when serving.  saying 1,2,3 power! or something like that may help you to get it over.  i learned it from a camp and it has really helped me.  hope it helps you! good luck!

Answer 4

if your too weak to get the ball over the net you need to lift weights

if u just have no accuracy you need to practice your toss and where you contact the ball

Answer 5

you toss should be in front of your right foot (if right handed) and the toss doesnt have to be very high . keep your wrist stiff. step into it and hit the ball at its highest point with an open hand. sometimes it just takes practice!

Good Luck at camp I hope everything goes well you you!

Answer 6

Make sure you hit it with forse and up not foreword.

Answer 7

I only play basketball and tennis, sorry:( but if you have any questions about tennis or basketball, hit me up and i will def answer it! I hope everything goes well for ya:)

Answer 8

Your toss is KEY to getting the ball the over the net.  Be sure to throw it UP AND OUT in front of you.  When you go to hit it, you need to be able STEP AND REACH the ball.  Be sure not to go over the line, if you feel you may...catch the ball and retoss it...this is legal.  HIT THE BALL STRONG, REACH, STEP, AND MAKE CONTACT...BE STRONG...

GOOD LUCK

Answer 9

It might help if you concentrate on the efficiency of you stroke.  A golfer with a crappy stroke can have all the power with no good games.  Directing the energy of your arm stroke to the ball in the BEST possible location {up/down/too far out/too far in} will take the punch off of you serve.
