I need help w/ my overhand serve in volleyball!!? |
i really need help...i just can't get it over the net!! HELP!! anything that will make me get it over (harder) I'm so glad you're perservering, it is such a good skill to have! Here are some tips that might improve your technique: 1. TAKE YOUR TIME The official rule is that you have 8 seconds to perform your serve. This is actually an eternity. Rushing your serve will only screw up your routine, and cause you to lose serve and lose the point! So wait for the whistle! 2. CREATE A ROUTINE Your routine is perhaps the most important aspect of your 鈥減re-serve鈥?Decide how many bounces, slaps, etc. you will do before going into the serving motions.This will give you some familiarity and make your serve consistent. This also includes knowing how far you are from the service line (鈥渟erves go over, feet don鈥檛!鈥? 3. CHOOSE YOUR VICTIM Picking a target on the floor will keep you from serving 鈥渙ut鈥? Avoid good back row players, such as the libero as your victim. Find a possible hole on the floor (ex. in the middle of a cup formation) 4. THE TOSS This is the most important aspect of the actual serve. Bring the ball in both hands in front of your body. Toss with both hands and do not toss between your legs! 5. FANCY FOOTWORK Stand so that your feet are about shoulder width apart, with your foot the same side as your hitting arm slightly ahead of the opposite foot. Check: Are your feet/body facing your victim? Are your feet far enough from the service line? 6.THE TOSS CONTINUEDThrow the ball about 4 feet to double your height. Toss straight up- too far ahead/behind will throw off your serve. 7. CONTACTING THE BALL Lead with your elbow. Make solid contact on the top of the ball. Don鈥檛 poke the ball-put some muscle into it! NEVER, EVER fist the ball. Cast your palm as open as possible for the most surface area. While contacting the ball, step with the foot opposite your hitting arm. 8. BODY MOVEMENTS This will give you the most balance and propel your body. Pull your non-hitting arm down, and let your hips twist when you hit the ball. 9. FOLLOW THROUGH After hitting the ball, snap your wrist. This will give you the top spin you want to make your serve difficult to receive. Drag your foot -the same side as your hitting arm-because you cannot take 2 steps. Best of luck! Source(s): ~club and varsity player~ (these are all my own ideas) :) Hit the ball harder. fold your fingers over at the 2nd knuckle and hit it with the top of your knuckles, this will increase speed and put a wicked spin on the ball making it harder to return well, i'm no genious when it comes to volleyball, but in gym we learned that when you do an overhand serve, pretend you're giving the ball a highfive. hope this helps! Breath easy and jump with power when swinging. If this does not help you take a few steps back and think of something or someone you are trying to hit on the other side of the net. Then swing. You may need to practice this method a few times. My coach use to tell me to take my anger out on the ball! Good luck....... you could do it 2 ways, holding the ball high then hitting it or throwing the ball up and hitting it. try and hit it with the bottom of your palm, or your tip fingers |
