Serving in Volleyball tips?

Question

Does anyone have any tips to serve a volleyball (Overhand) over the net? Do you throw it up in some kind of way, or something?

I just need some tips. Thanks!

Answer 1

For tossing the ball up... you should try to throw it upward and slightly in front of you. That way, you have you whole body into the swing of the serve and you have the time to react. Try it a couple of times and catch it with your not-hitting hand (left if you are right handed) above your head and in front of you... gauge the position until you know this will be where you want to contact the ball.

When you actually hit the ball, contact it just on the underside, this will send it flying over, though it may not work the first time, try, try again. remember to get your whole body into it.

Just practice and ask a coach or a better player to watch you and give you tips. Overhand serving is tough and I had the hardest time with it. : ) Good luck!

Answer 2

haha okay serving is a very tough thing to do, and it took me FOREVER to finally be able to do it the "right way" , so i definatly know where your coming from....here are some tips that i actually found extremely important and useful while learning how to get it over and just plain serve well.............

NEVER stand straight facing the court, angle yourself 45 degrees to the right

NEVER put extra steps into your serve, just step and drag, thats it

ALWAYS keep you hips, shoulder, arm, and hand OPEN!!!

NEVER try to just hit it as hard as you can, take time on checking your form, opening up and swinging through the ball

ALWAYS try to think about what your doing and where you want the ball to go

ALWAYS be positive and tell yourself "i can do it"

ALWAYS ask yourself "what went wrong" if you miss a serve or it does not go where you want it to go

***hope i helped and good luck with the serving!!!

Answer 4

I would have to say point the ball that's in your hand to where you want it to go. then line your feet up w/ the rest of your body. then i pull my arm back into a bow and arrow stance. then i throw up the ball and then i hit it. Good Luck with serving.

HERES SOME TIPS ^_^:

1. Throw the ball up in the air( high enough to extend your arm at least 3/4 of the way.

2. extend your arm at least 3/4 length

3. HIT IT WITH THE BOTTOM PART OF YOUR HAND! (this way you can get more of a hit to it)
