It took years for me to perfect my serve but they make it look like It was soo easy
That is probably the 18 one’s team at whatever club their at. All of which have probably been doing this for years.

12?!? At my high school we only have 5 seconds!
At mine we have 8 but I only use 4 to 5 seconds
in club it’s 8 seconds
At my school we get 8 :)
At my school WE GET 3!!😭😭😭😭
xoxoallisfairinloveandwarxoxo ur lying It can't be 3 seconds if u watch games athletes still need time to prep
some strategy:
if you hit less than 85km/h don't bother spin serving unless its deadly accurate. Over 85k any small amount of side spin will begin to make a difference and dart left or right as well as down at the last second making it almost impossible to pass. I also say 'deadly' accurate because it is a high risk serve and hitting a top spin ball to the centre of the court is just a gift for the opposition, make sure you can pick the lines. If you do insist on jump serving, i suggest that you practice like crazy, go to the gym early and leave late and when you practice, absolutely WHALE on it, as hard as you can THEN work on accuracy. i know it sounds crazy but if you work on accuracy first then try to add pace your mechanics will break down. video tape yourself from in front, behind, and both sides to pick out any quirks you or your coach may notice and get them corrected at max effort.
Given new dimpled balls, floats are much more difficult to pass now. accuracy is not as important when you float because it can dart any which way. also, because it is an easier serve to hit and be accurate more players at the amateur level are developing this serve.
As a general tip, if your coach asks you to serve at a position on the court (1,5, or 2) what he/she is really saying is "pick on the player in this position" so whenever you practice be sure to have a targe and work on serving to either side of it.
I want to practice but sadly I’m 30 now and don’t have access to a gym/net to practice in
Thanks this was helpful. My daughter has overhand served since 7 or 8. At 12 she has a 65+%accuracy. She also has a lot of strength, something most girls her age struggle with. (Growing up on a farm w cows and heavy feed bags has helped strength a lot!!). She’s worked on hitting right at the back line and back corners this past year. Having a not so great coach at her small school has caused her to start serving differently than what she has in the past...not for the better! So we’re switching lanes, going to public school, trying out for travel, and have done many clinics starting in feb this year and going through the summer. The best money we spent was on Pat Powers volleyball clinic!!! He got her serve back, fixed her spike approach, and made her skills of setting she seemed to naturally have, shine!!! All within 10hrs/2d of training! Wished I lived in Colorado!!! That man is amazing! I recorded her while this went on so she could see herself and the improvements and to remind her of what he taught. So, I’m glad to know I’m doing that correctly. My husband, when I was asking if she needed to focus on jump serves, said he didn’t think so. He thought that it was the ‘in thing’ to do right now. He said she had so much power that she needed to focus on making sure she could put it right where she wanted it...anywhere on the court...meaning to increase her accuracy. When she was younger and played rec ball, she would win games just bc of the way she could serve.
Again ty for your tips. I love watching her play this sport! So much fun!!
im watching this cause tryouts are on
Monday😂 AND SOMEONE HEWP ME ITS HARDER CAUSE WE GO FURTHER AND THE PRICKY NET IS HIGHER
Hi. bye. Did you make the team?
TELL US
Dude did you make it?
Did u make it?
Did you make it?
when i try to jump i always think i need to jump like 4 feet like oikawa does but then i jump like 3 inches
I think Oikawa serves with jumping 2 feet only
I can’t go higher than 2. Ur good.
Olé!!!
I can barely jump at all 😭🤚🏼
float serving tip (If you didn't understand reply and i will try explaining it a bit better)
Float Serve Tip : In the float serve she can take a step to make it stronger. For example if you are right handed you right leg must be back originally.... But you begin with it on the front and when you toss the ball on the air you bring your left leg to the front and the serve is much more powerful than it would simply be if it was for the way it told us...
When I started practicing I thought my serve was good but seeing how far we are from the net scares me
I do a stand float that drops before 10 foot. People think it’s because I specifically maneuver it too, but it’s because I don’t know how to add power to it. I’ve gotten many aces with my weak short floats, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do a strong deep float.
Gobogi maneuver you body quicker but also time it well if that doesn’t help then do some exercise focusing your core muscles and arms just to make the impact connect a bit better but I guess the best way is just keep serving until u find ur own way of generating power
But I don’t really know too well about float serves I’m just giving general ideas on what I know cause these helped me with my jump serves I’m to sure these would be the most effective with standing float serves but I’m pretty sure they would work somewhat
Your power comes from your elbow. Make sure your elbow is leading your hand, so your hand goes back, elbow comes forward, and you spring your hand back up. Also, make sure to never break your wrist and keep it locked. With practice, you'll get there. I'm still working on it myself.
I’ve whiffed my serve before and barely hit it with my fingertips but it ended up short and got an ace lmao
my dad went to college with misty may
I did too, but keep in mind there were 27,000 students at Cal State Long Beach at that time. Aside from watching her play volleyball, I can't say that I ever noticed her walking around campus.
Tip: Make sure to follow through with your swing regardless of whatever type serve you're doing, it actually helps increase the power of your serve by a lot
No. Float serves you don’t follow through with or you’ll get more spin. Once you get good enough you can easily hit the ball with strength without following through fully.
@@michaelg8841I've never really thought about it until. I used to just do it haha like I was taught hit it hard in the middle and it'll do the float and then it just worked 😂
I’m retired from coaching, one thing that I always coached is your elbow points to your target, throwing a softball, shouting a basketball, or serving a volleyball.
I’m 13 doing jump serve but this video definitely helped with the power into it.
Lexie Lachance good for you I’m 14 and barely get my float serve over
2 years later, any tips for the new 13 year olds ?
@@defnearen376 The arm swing is and timing are absolutely key make sure that you're arm swing has proper form and that you find the sweet spot for hitting I prefer to take a step and throw the ball up at the same time when I jump serve and it gives me a sweet spot as I throw it lower for control.
Bruh ur that good at 13? At 14 I can't even get a single float over women's regulation nets. And I've been playing for 4 years... ;-;
@@cannicole damn were both 14 and have been playing for 4 years lol
Thank you for teaching us! This really helped!
I’ve seen other videos on how to overhand serve and there alright but this on was really specific and helped me
I'm 13 but when I serve its less.. it can't reach the net😭😭 notice me guys
Cutie Gale Jeon sameee. I serve the ball and it doesnt even get passed the net ughh
Me too. But I'm 43😂😂😂😂😂
samee dun worrie im wif u
Gurl sameeeeee..I came here for some help and have done so many camps but it just don’t go over🙏🏽😩😢😭
Treat the serves (float serve, top spin serve)like you are doing a spike when you hit the ball but do your hands like they tell you in this video but RIGHT when you hit it, hit it like as you would a spiked ball. That’s what happened to me when I used to serve these servers it was ridiculously weak but when I added the missing ingredient: SPIKING TYPE OF HIT it improved quick and goes over the net now. Of course don’t add too much power that it goes out of bounds on the opposite court cause you will turn into Superman you’ll have so much power after this lol.......Hope that helps y’all .... sucks that UA-cam videos don’t tell you this..... bunch of farces lol
that is great
thank you. this really helped !
Thanks for your feedback and good luck with your game!
I legit took notes on this whole video 👀👀
Oya Oya Oya
Oya oya???
StanAteezForABetterLife oyayaya
Awesome video!
misty may is my favorite volleyball player.
VeryhelpfulTips
Thank you I know how to serve now
i’m aiming to be a libero but watching this kinda puts me at ease
12 secs??? Isn't it that you supposed to serve the ball within 8 secs after the whistle?
Daniel Liao no its 12 if it's not "important" but I get where your going with it
MiniMouse M Sorry but I think you're wrong.
12.4.4 The server must hit the ball within 8 seconds after the 1st referee whistles
for service.
MiniMouse M www.fivb.org/EN/Refereeing-Rules/documents/FIVB-Volleyball_Rules_2017-2020-EN-v06.pdf
Daniel Liao still if they say 12 then it's 12 because when the ref blows the whistle it would've already taken 4 seconds
Daniel Liao different areas, different rules, different times. We have 10-12 seconds where I live
My first game is in 6 days!!! I can hardly ever get it over the net!!!
my game is today.....good luck!!
I hope you can serve now, but use the hard part of your palm and follow through with your hips. Bring your hand all the way through too.
Ur coach should sub someone in for u until u get good enough
Lucky u i can only go 3 inches
Strxberry Gacha my first game was today! Super fun hope u did well
this made me want to try volleyball
I dont see Haikyuu comments here thats new
Oya?
"The serve isn't the best weapon..."
Oikawa: ha you thought
Question when serving do u have to put your feet like that like your right leg in the back because when I serve I just keep my legs how they are and it works
Her knee pads r HUGE
Very nice
*3 types of serves* well volley has evolved a lot
Great teaching...thks... oh Misry...those short and that beach ball...funny!
Thanks for watching and the shout out Banzai!
For the jump float, probably ask USA volleyball's Dan Landry. He's the first I've seen to use the jump float.
These are useful but why does she always sound out of breath
Haha yea, I think it's cause she doesn't have a mic attached to her, and the only mic is next to the camera.
She does lol
she might be nervous lol I get out of breath when I’m nervous
I cant breath when public speaking either
I just realized this was published on my birthday 😂
Bryson and Hunter that is my birthday to
u changed my life
how to be a best libero sir .i want to be a libero so?
What are the teaching point for sets
don't you have to swing all the way through for more power?
Amelia Colon yes thats what she said
Amelia Colon it depends on topspin or float. For a float you never have a follow trough with your arm; your follow through is critical for topspin. Use hips for both.
Amelia Colon that’s what I thought too
not for float
I started playing volleyball around two months ago and I still can't serve properly/consistently - and I'm a 16 male. Physically I know I'm capable of hitting the ball harder than some of my female friends but I don't know what's lacking in my technique that's causing me not to consistently hit the ball over the net
LoLCollege there are many things that could cause you to not be able to serve as well or as hard. You need to follow through as she said many times. The timing and the ball toss is crucial to a serve too
Sounds weird maybe, but I have the same thing. And it is mentally. I am 27 and playing volleyball for 4 years now. I finally know how to serve upper hand but during a game I suck. During training I nail it. I found out it is in my head. If I say to myself I am gonna hit this hard and over the net. Then there it goes. If I am insecure or don't pay attention I fail.
LoLCollege
It comes with experience, you just gotta get the feeling. People say its all about the toss and swing, but i think the transition of weight from your right to left leg is also as important
I think it is because you don’t hit the right spot on your hand, I’m 11 female and I can serve fine. You might be missing something.😥
Good
Hi how use palm?
When she does the jump float she raise the ball with her right hand then hits with her right hand. What is this called? My granddaughter served this way when she broke her left wrist and she aced the ball all the time, then the coach made her go back to throwing the ball up with the left and hit with the right when healed. I heard they teach that in college so they won’t let her do it now in high school. She still aces it a lot that they gave her the nickname of Ace. Should she still practice the serve this way.
I have been playing in my comunity centre for some time now, but my serve is soooo weak. I cant understand what i do wrong as i follow technic and acctually have strenghts in my arms. Most of my serve do not fly over the net😢
why i can't see view?
I still can’t do it :,( idk what to do anymore
don't give up! either there is something wrong with your toss or you need to keep your wrist firm! you got this!
Is it just me, or does the number of the views say 7 years ago..?? Its either that or I'm going crazy. (It's 2:45am)
Um...no you're right...it does???😂
I’m trying out for the freshman team in about 2 months and I need tips on how to get better! Please help! I play school and club right now. I’m in 7th so I’ll be playing 9th in 8th grade
did u get in lol
In which place the hand contact which ball
Arun Abi mostly the palm part but all your fingers and thumb too for control
Left handed is right left right correct? He never clarifies in the video
Smart Kittens yes your right, he really needs to for people who are left handed just in case
you didn say and showed where on the palm the ball should hit? Please i am very confused on that.
Nice
I start tryouts on Monday (today is Friday) so I have like 2 days to improve.. ;3;
How’d you do?
Nice
From indonesia
why does she look like a volleyball version of alex morgan💀
yea i did it from the line to the net im 11 boy
When I serve I take a whole large step 😂 and I haven’t even realized I’ve been jumping until now… and before I did that I had my fist closed and I had no idea until my coach told me 😂
The first message makes me want to try another video lol ( but i understand y they put it there ofc )
So which is better, an underhand serve or overhand
overhand is better, underhand is basically a free ball
she makes it look so easy, my serves either never get over the net or they hit the net...
I have power in my over hand serves but im struggling to get the height, can someone give me tips?
Make sure you hv a high toss
12 seconds?! The ref where I play gives 5. She literally told us “You get five seconds to serve after I blow the whistle.” She isn’t kidding. Fastest 5 seconds of my lifue.
8:06 Jump Serve
They forgot the most effective serve:
The jump-underhand
No joke I think a girl from my school has the potential to master that.
Wait, do you always have to use your left hand to serve? Because I’m a righty and I’m not strong on my left.
No it's entirely up to you
Love you trying
Ive been playing volleyball for about 2 years and still cant get my overhand serves over the net 😭. Idk how I got into my highschool’s volleyball team ;-;
I felt that this is my second year and I can’t serve over the net
I'm looking this up bc I'm trying to teach some novice players. One in particular who is not a strong player. And by that I mean physically she is a stick. But she can pass, kind of set, but cannot hit. Knowing how to do it is easy. Knowing how to teach it, harder
My gave is tmrw so wish me luck :)
my game is tonight :0)
My overhand serve can reach out and I’m 10 is that below or average of my level
That's above average, some 14 year olds can't even over hand.
1:34 KEEPING THIS TIMESTAMP
4:58 TOO
Im a left hander...help mee
it's usually just reversed steps - for jump serves and spiking the footwork is right, left, right for three step and left, right, left, right for four step
Sameeeee
I’ve heard that I should flex ur arm when u serve is that true. And my volleyball coach told me it would help if I cupped my hand should I try that or is it a bad habit??
wolf yeah don’t coup your hand that gives you less power
@@ariadnaserrano3631 oh ok thanks I didn't want to get used to a bad habit :)
no never cup ur hand
you have to hit with open palm
and u want to be relaxed so no to the flexing ur arm. it could hurt u
i’m 15 and in highschool, only reason i didn’t try out for the team is because i’ve been taught wrong how to serve and can’t do it right. i excel in bumping and spiking and setting yet can’t get down the serve
You could play the libero of the team
Just practice the right way. It’s not really that hard if you put effort into the reps
I wish and pray hard to get intact with you😥😥😖😞
People made it look pretty easy but I started volleyball in 3rd grade now i am in seventh and my serve is still not perfect. Its so much harder than you think
I started learning in 4th grade about volleyball from my brother who has played for years but now I’m in grade 7 and I finally am aloud to play on the team. I just need to either shorten my toss so it’s closer to me or I need a better follow through because my elbow keeps cracking when I serve and it’s just annoying
I have a big crush on this beautiful lady.
She's a great player.
I want a ball like tgat
I thought it was 8 second after the whistle
SharkWhales it depend on a lot of things like if it’s club or school volleyball. At school for me they gave us 8 seconds at club for me they give us 5 seconds to serve
yamaguchi is screeching
What if your a lefty not a righty?
I know I’m late but you do the opposite for everything (footwork, the hand that you serve with, the hand you use to toss, etc.)
I'm 5 foot, and I believe that height doesnt really affect it, but im not that great... i can get it over the net, but not the majority of time
Nvm lmao it’s been 2 weeks and I can do it fine now 😃😃
Height doesn't effect it too much but being on the taller side can definitely help you get the ball a little higher still doesn't mean it'll be a hard serve tho
Is underhanding not allowed in the professional world?
Carissa no
Nope it stops in high school
Sara McCoy middle school actually
Underhand is only for middle school , but it’s better if you break the habit in high school because under hand serves are hella easy to pass !!
How tall do you have to be, I’m 4”11
Sena thank you
I would say it matters more on your age
Something happened to this channel for them to put up that warning in the beginning of the video
This is the video we watched in PE in 5th grade
Me in 2020 looking at her knee pads😧 “oh honey what did they do to you??”
3 types?! What about an underhand serve?!
That guy’s like yea I totally know the difference between all those serving types
But you can't toss it with 2 hands
okay but like, what about under hand? is that not allowed in games. sorry i’m stupid lol
People don't use it as often.
I just came back from my volleyball camp and we worked on serves today, I didn’t make even one over:(
It’s alright me neither and I’ve been playing for 4 years. It’s super tough. Maybe just stick with underhand for a while or ask a coach to take you aside and help.
oof m8. Hope u get better at serving later at least then. I had my first practice a few days ago with my grade 7,8,9 school team but it was hard trying to serve. Aside from the fact that I’m only 12 and that was my first ever practice. I think I’ve gotten better and am ready to show my skills in my next practice tomorrow. I learned a bit from my brother who played volleyball for years at least. The one thing that I really need to get used to is that I need to do either more of a follow through or I need to shorten my tosses cuz my elbow keeps extending when I serve and it just keeps cracking and annoys me the whole time. Hope u can make one over next time tho :).
Arent you supposed to flick your wrist on a jump serve to make it spike on the other side
pepe the frog that’s what they said. They said it should be like a spike.
@@Deldot123 ohhhhhhh ok thanks
