Serving WINS games!!!!!
The more effectively your team can serve
 The more offensive you will become and the
more successful you can become.
The more your players become vested in point
scoring and taking responsibility for their serve.
Serving Rules: Simple rules help you
team keep focused on what needs to be done!
1st serve is in
Serve is in after a time-out
Serve is in after substitution
Serve is in after a ‘delay’ of game
Serve is in after an Ace
Serve is in after your teammate before you misses
Serve is in after you missed your previous rotational

SERVING

The serve is used to initiate the rally. It is the most
important skill in volleyball. A well placed serve can result
in a point, a reaction that is difficult for the setter to set or a
reception that is difficult for the passer to transition to an
attack approach.
Strategically, the serve is an offensive weapon. It is the
easiest way to score and the easiest way to disrupt the
opponent’s offense. Psychologically, a game’s momentum
can totally shift in favor of the tough serving team.
The serve is the only skill in volleyball where the play is in
complete control of the skill. The server decides when to
initiate the ball, where t o direct the ball and how to
direction the ball. All other skills in volleyball are in reaction
to or anticipation of a ball that is already in play.
Because of the importance of the serve and the server
having complete control of the serve, it is essential to
practice serving every day. Serving practice can be
combined with other skills or practiced two or three
different times during practice.
Serving Progression
• Serving progression without a ball:
• Footwork
• Body Position
• Contact
• Follow thru
• Eyes closed
• Serving progression with a ball:
• Throw a ball
• Toss/Drop
• Toss/ Step drop
• Toss Contact
Placement of serving drills
within a practice

At least 10-15 minutes every day should be given to
the partner serving progression and a variation of the
serve and chase drill.
The integrations of serving into other drills should be
incorporated whenever possible.
Short periods of the serve and chase drill can be
incorporated into the practice schedule. After high
intensity drill and prior to getting a water break is a
good place to insert a short serve and chase drill.
– Ex. Each player gets 5 service attempts to get the ball
into a designated target area. For each missed serve a
penalty can be assessed.
– Ex. Each player must achieve 5 points to get out of the
drill. 1 points is assigned for serving into the designated
target area. NO points are achieved if the serve is in the
court, but not in the target area. A negative point is
incurred if there is a service error.
Serving Choices
Cross Court Serve
Line Serve
Short Serve
Serving from Deep
Fast/Low Trajectory serve
Deep/High Trajectory
Topspin
Jump Float
Side Spin

NOTE: if any of these are not being
performed correctly there is always a
cue that you can use to bring back
your intended goal.
Strategy Progression
Area Serving progression:
– 1st In the court Areas 3 and 6
– 2nd Corners Areas 1 and 5
1 6 5 – 3rd Seams Areas Depend on receive plan
– 4th Short Areas 2 and 4
2 3 4 Advanced serving strategy:
– Once the players have the ability to serve any area of the court
advance serving strategy can be a huge factor in affecting the
outcome of the game.
• Serve the weak Passer – make them move to pass
• Serve the hot hitter – either short or deep, to make it difficult to make an approach
after the ball is passed.
• Serve in between Area 1 and 2 to make it difficult for the setter to set the ball because
it is coming from over the setters’ left shoulder.

Serve and Chase Drill
Integration of serving practice in other drills. Serving should be
incorporated into other drills whenever possible. It will release the
coach from running the drill to observing and providing feedback to the
players in the drill.
– Rotation Group Drill Example: after the serve the player goes to
the passing group. After passing the serve the player goes to the
hitting group. After hitting the set the player chases the ball and
Setter returns to the serving group. This style of drill is game like in its
Hitter hits the set and shags flow.
Ball to go back to serve again.
– Stationary Group Drill example: The players stay in the serving,
passing, and hitting groups for a specific amount of time or
repetitions then rotate. This style of drill is good fro focusing on
learning correct skill execution.
Passer passes the ball
– Note: These concepts can be used in many different team drills.
to setter who sets the 4
set.
6 on 6: Termination Drill
Start with 6 players on each side of the net.
Server initiates ball over the net and then
opposing team passes, sets and hits the ball
back over the net.
Key objectives of this drill:
– 1. To terminate 1st ball over the net. If
your team gets a kill or terminates the first
ball they get 3 points. Or if the server
aces the ball the serving team receives 3
points.
– 2. If the opponent terminates the ball over
the net they get 2 points.
– 3. If the ball crosses the net for the 3rd
time, no points are awarded.
– Play a game to 7 points. After a team
reaches 7 points they rotate. Winning
team gets to serve.
Outside Hitter: Dig and Hit Drill
Outside hitter (OH) starts at the net.
Coach stands left front on a box on the opposite
outside hitter position on the other side of the net.
Coach attacks a ball at the OH and the hitter digs
and gets outside the court ready to hit. Note: If
two hitters are used outside the drill is still very
productive).
Note: the digger should be outside and stopped by
the time the setter touches the ball.
Setter sets a 4 set and the OH hits the ball around
a two person block.
OH needs 7 kills to leave the drill. (The number of
kills should be relative to the level of team, for
example: beginning teams can get 4-5 kills).
To make this drill more difficult make the hitter aim
at a designated area. (For example: Make the
blockers stand on a box and give 2 feet of line and
then the attacked ball only counts if it is hit by the
block, line, and lands in the court).
Outside Hitter Drill :
OH Digs and swings outside (expects the set) and then hits to Target Area:
Outside hitter (OH) starts at the net.
Coach stands left front on a box on the opposite outside hitter position on the other side of the
net.
Outside Hitters Coach slaps ball as OH pulls off the net then the coach attacks a ball at the OH and the hitter
digs and gets outside the court ready to hit. Note: If two hitters are used outside the drill it is
still very productive).
-Note: the digger should be outside and stopped by the time the setter touches the ball.
Setter sets a 4 set & the OH hits the ball around a two person block to a designated target
area.
Setter
OH needs 7 kills to leave the drill. (The number of kills should be relative to the level of team,
Box
Coach
for example: beginning teams can get 4-5 kills).
To make this drill more advanced:
1. If the hitter hits a ball that skims the net, after they hit that ball they leave the court
2 Blockers
stand on a box
and do 1 up/down (1 block into a push up), if the hitter hits a ball into the net or out
of bounds, after they hit that ball, they leave the court and perform 3 up/downs.
2. Another way to make this drill more difficult is to make the hitter aim at a
designated area. (For example: Make the blockers stand on a box and give 2 feet
of line and then the attacked ball only counts if it is hit by the block, line, and lands
in the court).
To make this drill more focused on the hitters approach:
– Coach should take out the dig and just have the hitters waiting outside for a 4 set. Coach will
toss/bounce the ball to the setter and then the setter would set an outside set to the hitter who would
take an explosive approach to hit the set to the designated area.
How to Work the Middle Attack With the Server Aiming
Middle Back or Middle Short
Setter starts right back (RB) and Middle Blocker is stacked left front on the net.
Passer
The ball is served over the net to middle back passer (area 6) or middle short.
The passer passes the ball to the setter who sets the middle attack. If the
middle front passes the ball they can still attack a middle quick set (slide, 3,
perhaps 1 and back1 depending on physicality).
Note: (Coach states if they want the middle to pass)
Middle blocker gets off the net to the 10 foot line (the middle blocker’s goal is to
be on the 10 foot line by the time the passer touches the ball) and then the
Setter Middle Front
middle blocker approaches to hit a 1 set as the ball is coming from the diggers
arms. (NOTE: the middle hitter can also once this drill is mastered work on
hitting 3’s, slides, back 1’s and 2’s).
One or two player stands on the other side of the net in blocking starting
position, ready to block the attacked ball.
Blockers Middle hitter needs 7 kills to get out of the drill. (The number of kills needed can
vary depending on the level of team you have).
To make this drill more difficult make the hitter only get a kill if the ball is hard
driven, by a two person block or only if the ball is hit to a designated area (ex.
Deep corners).
Note: this drill can be done with any of the zones: Area 1 (deep right back) and
Servers Area 2 (short right front), Area 5 (deep LB) and Area 4 (short LF)
