Question

What are the major common injuries with serving a volleyball?

Answer 1

I have had multiple shoulder dislocations, as well as a tear in my labrum. Any overhead motion like that is unnatural for the human body... but we do it anyway! Just make sure to stretch copiously.

Answer 2

Most have already been said.

I would add back injuries, especially for jumpserves.

Answer 3

If you don't warm up your arm: chance of pulling a muscle or ligament in your shoulder. If you don't serve properly: Chance of injuring your shoulder or popping your elbow. If you don't follow through: Tiny ligaments in your shoulder get irritated over time and causing long term shoulder pain and damage.

Answer 4

um.. well.... i get sore shoulders after serving lyk a billion times in a row..... but its normallly notin serious/....... ALWAYS MEMBER TO STRETCH

<3

Answer 5

There aren't any...you have to REALLY s***w up if you get injured serving.

Answer 6

I tore my labrum in football, but it re-opens all the time while serving in volleyball

Answer 7

they arent any..

Answer 8

muscle tears sprained ankle shoulder problems , knee injuries, and even the possible tear of a tendon in the pinky(personal experiance)

Answer 9

Muscles need to be slowly warmed up - this is the safe way to playing sports.  You don't go all out, straight away, with no slow limbering up - that is how to get into problems straight away.  You should do a couple of slow hits, before going into your all out fast powerful serve, etc.  You may ask? How do I do this without actually hitting the ball?  Well, actually you can.. before you serve.  You should not use your shoulder muscles for your spike or spike serve, but rather use the bent elbow - which straightens. You can do this for as many times as you want to, on court - just flex your elbow and arm. After a few warm ups, you can raise your bent elbow and go pow! - You're ready for your serve..

The other way to injure yourself is to slip and injure your ankle - so you should have some kind of ankle support always.  Even wearing basketball boots, or sports shoes with (any) ankle support is better than none.

Answer 10

dislocating your shoulder is probably the most common. a girl once jammed her finger when serving because she fisted it. but i think if you serve correctly, there shouldnt be any injuries

Answer 11

well i dont tinhk you will have that muihc injuries unless you play like hard core volleyball

the most i ever gotten was lole 2 really scraped kneees thR HURTED

and if you have glassses then it will probably break

and oyu might slip here and there sometimes

Answer 12

Most injuries that are incurred are not from one serve of the ball, but from too many repetitions or poor technique. The most common of these injuries are shoulder injuries from serving and hitting like tendinitis and torn tendons. Having weak rotator cuff muscles can also cause shoulder injury over time because these are the muscles that stabilize your shoulder. The best way to prevent shoulder injury is to strengthen your rotator cuff muscles using arm bands or light weights.

Answer 13

I have played now for nine years and have yet to run into an injury serving a volleyball.  I guess in theory it would be most likely that an injury could occur when jump serving, like pulling a muscle, but you would really have to have a terrible approach or swing on the ball.  I would say your safe in all motions for serving.

Answer 14

im on the volleyball team and i popped my shoulder and  pulled a muscle

Answer 15

i have dislocated my sholder many times

i think thats about it.

Answer 16

There are a lot of injuries related to your shoulder and elbow.

I tore my rotator cuff a little bit from not following through straight and going across my body. That hurts a lot. You just have to ice it a lot and stretch it before you play. And warm up your arms for like 5 minutes before any contact with a ball.

You can also get tendonitis in your elbow which hurts really bad as well. That is caused by dropping your shoulder when you serve and swinging low.  Once you have it, it doesn’t go away; it can only be treated to take away pain and helped. It comes back easily. You have to ice it all the time.

Another common one is pulled muscles. After working on a new muscle or over working one they can be easily pulled. If you pull one in your shoulder it can connect to one in your back and they both hurt and arm movement kills. Also muscles are pulled by your biceps or the top of your muscle. Ice and stretch them constantly to heal and work on them consistently to reduce or prevent from it happening again.

There are many more, like tennis elbow, But I am not aware of them. I hope I helped you out and good luck!!!
