I suck at serving overhand in volleyball, advice?
Overhand serving is really essential. Here's the proper technique: 1. TAKE YOUR TIME The official rule is that you have 8 seconds to perform your serve. This is actually an eternity. Rushing your serve will only screw up your routine, and cause you to lose serve and lose the point! So wait for the whistle! 2. CREATE A ROUTINE Your routine is perhaps the most important aspect of your “pre-serve”.Decide how many bounces, slaps, etc. you will do before going into the serving motions.This will give you some familiarity and make your serve consistent. This also includes knowing how far you are from the service line (“serves go over, feet don’t!”) 3. CHOOSE YOUR VICTIM Picking a target on the floor will keep you from serving “out”. Avoid good back row players, such as the libero as your victim. Find a possible hole on the floor (ex. in the middle of a cup formation) 4. THE TOSS This is the most important aspect of the actual serve. Bring the ball in both hands in front of your body. Toss with both hands and do not toss between your legs! 5. FANCY FOOTWORK Stand so that your feet are about shoulder width apart, with your foot the same side as your hitting arm slightly ahead of the opposite foot. Check: Are your feet/body facing your victim? Are your feet far enough from the service line? 6.THE TOSS CONTINUEDThrow the ball about 4 feet to double your height. Toss straight up- too far ahead/behind will throw off your serve. 7. CONTACTING THE BALL Lead with your elbow. Make solid contact on the top of the ball. Don’t poke the ball-put some muscle into it! NEVER, EVER fist the ball. Cast your palm as open as possible for the most surface area. While contacting the ball, step with the foot opposite your hitting arm. 8. BODY MOVEMENTS This will give you the most balance and propel your body. Pull your non-hitting arm down, and let your hips twist when you hit the ball. 9. FOLLOW THROUGH After hitting the ball, snap your wrist. This will give you the top spin you want to make your serve difficult to receive. Drag your foot -the same side as your hitting arm-because you cannot take 2 steps. I'd also advise starting close, in a practice settting, and working your way back behind the line, to built up arm strength,
Volleyball hand signals: what do they mean pls help?
I'll put the answers in relation to the numbers you have listed. 1) That is the signal for a touch. You call this when a ball is put over the net by the opposing team (we'll call them Team 1 for this article), is touched by the other team (Team 2, respectively), and then goes out. 2) This is the signal for a double contact. This can be blatant, or very hard to notice. A more noticable double would be when the same person touches the ball twice in a row. More often, though, a referee will call a Setter on a double. When you see a setter release the ball and it has some bad spin on it, usually you will call a double, unless its an extremely athletic play. 3) This is the signal for Four Contacts. This one is simple - when a team contacts the ball 4 times instead of their allowed 3 times, call this. 4) There shouldn't be a call when your hand touches your foot. If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, then you're talking about a centerline fault. This is when a players foot COMPLETELY crosses over the centerline. A partial crossing is allowed. This is called by pointing your finger at the center line. The down referee will give a more clear hand motion. 5) This is the signal for a net violation. In current USAV rules, a net violation is only when a player contacts the top 2 inches of the net, or "the tape" (white strip of tape at the top of the net). Typically, your down referee will call this fault, but if you see it and he doesn't, you have every right to. Watch especially for players coming down off of a block, or taking a swing at the ball.
