Volleyball Serving Step 1: Prepare Your Stance - Position

Yourself: Stand behind the baseline with your feet shoulder-width
apart. - Hold the Ball: Use your non-dominant hand to hold the ball at
waist height in front of you. Step 2: Grip the Ball - Secure the Ball:
Hold the ball with your non-dominant hand and keep your dominant
hand ready to strike. Your dominant hand can be in a fist or an open
hand, depending on the type of serve. Step 3: Toss the Ball - Toss:
Gently toss the ball into the air with your non-dominant hand. Aim for
a height that allows you to comfortably hit it with your dominant hand.
Step 4: Step Forward - Approach the Ball: As you toss, step forward
with your non-dominant foot to generate momentum. Step 5: Swing
Your Arm - Prepare to Hit: Bring your dominant arm back to prepare
for the swing. - Contact: As the ball reaches its peak, swing your
dominant arm forward to hit the ball. Aim to strike the center of the
ball for a clean hit. Step 6: Follow Through - Complete Your Swing:
After making contact, allow your arm to continue its motion across
your body. This helps maintain balance and power. Step 7: Recovery
- Get Ready for Next Play: After the serve, return to a ready position
to prepare for the next action. Tips for Success - Practice Different
Serves: Work on various types of serves, such as underhand, overhand,
and jump serves, to improve your versatility. - Focus on Accuracy:
Aim for specific spots on the court rather than just hitting the ball hard.
- Stay Relaxed: Maintain a relaxed stance to improve your timing and
control. By following these steps and practicing regularly, you can
enhance your serving skills in volleyball!
