Of course. The server can get the ball from his/her side of the court to the opposite service box any way they want. The only rules are as follows:

1. feet may not touch the baseline or anywhere in the court until after the ball is struck.

2. must stay on the appropriate side of the hash mark.

3. the ball must strike the racket after it leaves the servers hand. It can not hit the court on the server's side before landing in the opponent's service box.

What does underhand and overhand mean in volleyball?

Underhand is where your hit the ball by reaching forward underneath it. Overhand is where you hit the ball above your head. Which one you use would have to depend on where you are relative to the ball. If it is above your head, you will have to use overhand (maybe you will have to jump), while if the ball is going to hit the ground in front of you, you will have to use the underhand hit (and you may have to dive for it).

What are the different ways you're allowed to serve in volleyball?

Two ways to serve are underhand and overhand. To serve underhand, hold the ball in one hand and hit it upward with the other fist or forearm, so the ball flies in a parabola into your opponents' side of the field. To serve overhand, toss the ball above your head and then smack it with your wrist, palm, or fingers to send the ball over the net in a parabola flatter than the underhand serve.

Is the underarm serve rejected in tennis?

You can hit an underhand serve in tennis; however, the overhand serve is more effective because it is more powerful. That is why you don't see the underhand serve used much.


What does underhand mean?

"Underhand" refers to a type of serve, and is the opposite of "overhand". An underhand serve is when the server holds the ball in front of them, at the height of their hip, and hits the ball out of their hand using their opposite fist or palm in order to serve. Meanwhile, an overhand serve is when the server tosses the ball in the air, over their head, in front of them, and uses their other hand to hit the ball in the air and over the net for a serve.
