  1. The Correct Way to Serve By: Alyia, Khalia, Shaniya, Emmanuel, Cheyanne

  2. UNDERHAND SERVES

  3. If you are right-handed, put your left leg forward and put all your weight on your back foot. (opposite for left handers)

  4. Place the ball in the palm of your NON STRIKING hand under the volleyball and hold it out in front of you a little lower than your hip and across your body directly in the line of your striking hand. (Elbow straight)

  5. Make sure your right (striking) hand is in a fist. (Closed fingers and heel of hand facing the ceiling).

  6. Let your striking hand drop from behind the ball to back beyond your hips a little bit. (Elbow straight-closed fingers and heel facing the floor)

  7. As you step forward with the opposite foot of the striking hand (Both elbows are still straight) bend your knees, lower the held ball and lean your head over the ball, bring your striking hand forward to meet the ball.

  8. The heel of your hand and folded fingers strike just beside your pinkie. Don't let your foot go over the line or it is considered a foot fault.

  9. OVERHAND SERVES

  10. Line up both your feet about shoulder length apart. Place your non-dominant foot ahead of your dominant foot. Your shoulders and hips should be aligned with the net.

  11. Place your non-dominant hand directly in front of you, almost completely straight (but with a flexible elbow) and palm up with the ball in it.

  12. Swing your serving arm back next to your head. Make sure that your elbow is pointing upwards and your hand is at or slightly above your ear

  13. Toss the ball up with your palm of your left hand (not fingers) about 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) in the air. Remember that you want your dominant hand to make contact with the ball just after it changes direction and begins to drop back down. Swing your dominant arm back at the same time, keeping your wrist rigid

  14. Hit the ball with the heel of your dominant hand. Bring your dominant hand forward and smack the ball with the heel of your hand, or the bottom of your palm. Try not to hit it with your fingers or the flat of your palm, as this will cause the serve to have less power. (If you're worried about your fingers getting in the way, try to curl them down toward your palm.) •Add momentum to your hit by stepping forward with your dominant foot as you serve. Drag your right foot forward, and hit the bottom of the ball with the palm of your right hand. • •As you are hitting the ball, send all your weight from your arm to the ball; this should add a lot of speed and force. • •Make sure that your serving hand is slanted slightly upward. This will help loft the ball over the net. If you aim down with your hand, the ball will hit the ground before it goes over the net.

  15. After striking the ball, use your momentum and run to your defensive position.
