Voleyball serving

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.
1. There are 4 types;
  1. The Underhand Serve
    1. The underhand serve is simple,the player holds the ball in the hand opposite from the hitting hand, ex. a right-handed player would hold the ball in the left 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.
      1. Mainly used for lower skill levels
  2. The Floater
    1. Start with your feet. Put your left foot in front of your right, about shoulder width apart. 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. Toss the ball with your left hand; pull back your right arm as far as possible and swing
  3. Topspin
    1. The beginning steps for the topspin serve are just like the floater, but the toss for the topspin must be higher. 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.
      1. Very similar to a tennis serve
  4. Jump Serve
    1. This is a very advanced type of serve, and it should only be used at high skill levels. Instead of keeping the feet stationary, 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. The motions are similar to the topspin serve, but they are done in the air
