Different Volleyball Serves


In order to play volleyball, one of the first, essential things is to know the serves and do it correctly (Or at least, try it). So in this entry, I'm going to explain shortly the different ways to serve.

1st. Underhand Serve
This serve is often used in non-professional volleyball games, such as playing with your friends or in PE class.
With one foot stepped back, you hold the ball in your opposite hand. Then with your other hand fisted, hit the ball just below the center of the ball.

2nd Overhand Serves
You start with your dominant foot back and the ball held extended in your non-dominant hand. Then you toss the ball up in front of you hitting hand. How you hit it depends on the type of serve you want to create. The biggest difference between the types of overhand serves is the server's body position, where contact is made on the ball, and the follow-through.



Floater
A float serve or a floater is a serve that does not spin. It is called a floater because it moves in unpredictable ways, making it difficult to pass. A float serve and can move unexpectedly to the right or the left or it can drop suddenly.
To hit a floater, your hand hits behind the middle of the ball. 

Topspin
A topspin serve spins rapidly forward from the top. This serve has a much more predictable movement than a floater, but can be difficult to handle because of its quick speed and difficult to pass because it drops rapidly.

Jump Serve
The jump serve is more advanced. You uses more of an attack approach, jumping and striking the ball with the your hand while you're in the air. With this serve, your wrist remains blocked, then you hold (stop) your palm in position facing the target.

  1. ¿Por qué elegí este tópico para la entrada de mi blog?
    Bueno, elegí este y no resistencia por qué me pareció más interesante y más divertido de comentar y por qué me parece muy interesante saber algo tan básico para empezar a jugar como son los saques. En muchos deportes si no se sabe sacar, apenas se puede jugar ya que hay que estar sacando casi continuamente. Como en el pádel o tenis, que si no se sabe poner la pelota en juego muchas veces estamos mucho tiempo para hacerlo y apenas jugamos. Y me parece interesante saber los diferentes tipos de saques, como se ejecutan y no solo los que hemos aprendido, como por ejemplo el Topspin o Floater.
