Each play starts off with a serve. The server steps behind the line at the very
back of the court, called the end line, and has freedom to serve from wherever
he or she pleases as long as the foot does not touch or cross the line
Types of Volleyball´s Kicks
The Underhand Serve
The underhand serve is simple the player holds the ball in the hand opposite from the
hitting hand. Hold the ball below the waist and above the knee so that with bent knees,
the server is in good position to get the ball over the net.
Overhand Serves: The Floater
Hold the ball at about eye-level with your left hand on the bottom and your right hand on
top. The toss should only be high enough so that when you pull back your right arm, the hand
contacts the ball on its downward swing. Stop the motion of your right arm when your hand
contacts the ball.This serve allows the ball to float and wiggle in the air.
Topspin
Toss the ball high enough so that the right arm can come down on the
ball in a snapping motion on the underside of the ball,don´t stop the
motion of the right arm when it contacts the ball; rather, turn your
shoulder away from the bal
Jump Serve
This is a very advanced type of serve, and it should only be used at high skill levels the player tosses
the ball high in the air and takes a multistep approach to hitting the ball.Although the player may
land in the court after the jump serve, the feet must leave the ground behind the end line to be legal.
