Well I guess there are three general types of serves in volleyball,

  • Floater (the ball doesnt really spin much, it can float across the court, common)
  • Top Spin (the ball spins very fast forward, common)
  • Side spin (the ball spins sideways, not very common)
But there is also these three types,
  • Jump serve (a very powerful serve, has several advantages like, power, intimidation, and getting the ball to the court faster (since your jumping the ball doesnt have to go up and across, just across))
  • Standing overhand serve (a standard serve, you will see this most)
  • Underhand serve (used in lower levels of volleyball, not an effective/strong serve at all, it's never used in highschool/college)

There are three main types of volleyball serves. There is the underhand serve, the overhand serve, and the jump serve. Within these three serves, there are more specific serves, such as the floater serve, the topspin serve, the jump float serve, and the jump topspin serve.

The three types of services, or serves, in volleyball are underhand, overhand, and jump serving. ?

  • The underhand serve is used by beginners in the sport. It is not a strong serve and can easily be returned by the other team. The player holds the ball with their left hand, and with the right hand hits the ball with the bottom palm of the hand. ?
  • The overhand serve is the most common serve, and can be powerful. It is done by throwing the ball about 2 to 3 feet in the air, and then using the right or left hand to hit the ball with the bottom palm of your hand. If the player is right handed they will be throwing the ball up with their left hand and then hitting with their right. It is just the opposite if they are left handed.
  • The jump serve is a very powerful serve. It is very similar to a spike in volleyball, but in the jump serve, the ball will go a longer distance. The player will throw the ball up with one hand and instead of staying on the ground and waiting for the ball to come down, they will jump up and meet the ball in the air and hit with the bottom palm of their hand.?
