Volleyball Serves...?

Question

i am a junior in high school and are in the volleyball team i have an awesome serve and wells sometimes i serve it a little too hard and i need some help with that what do i do to hit it a little less hard...?....

Answer 1

you can still hit hard just aim lower and right ontop of the net and stop your hand wen you serve like your about to high five someone and that will help you to do a floater serve

Answer 2

that used to happen to me all the time, you are not hitting the ball at your full extension. you need to throw the ball a little bit higher so u can hit it at your arms highest reach, that worked really well for me after a couple trys! It was sooo cool. also make sure you have your elbow high ( you can put the back of your hand to your cheek as your pulling your arm back) and just relax when serving! good luck!!

Answer 3

Now that you have mastered the strength, try to focus on aiming. It is better to aim well than it is to hit it hard. Although it is good that you can, you just need to try to place it so that it is in a spot where it is hard for the opposing team to get to it (the far corners of the court)

Answer 4

back away from the line! I had a really hard serve too. So just try to concentrate on hitting it in

Answer 5

Put more energy into the vertical jump so it balances out the force of your serve. You could try backing out a little bit farther, but if your serve is that powerful, it may not help much. Basic idea is, don't think too much about how hard your serve it -- sometimes a hard serve is a volleyball gift; it puts the opposing team in awe of you. A little control and easy reflexes and you'll be fine.

Answer 6

You can back up from the line.  Also, a hard serve is good at the right time, however; a well placed serve is better at the right time. Focus on control of the serve and placement.  Have a great season and good luck.

Answer 7

stand father back

Answer 8

I am a junior in high school on my volleyball team also.  I had the same problem when i was playing.  What i did was serve of the line more.  It will make the serve tougher to pass and you can still hit it really hard.  Or you have to practice.  ALOT.
