AN over hand serve is when the ball is usually thrown then hit while staying above the servers head, the hand is carried back and over the head to hit the ball. AN under hand serve is when a player holds the ball out, and hits the bottom of the ball with the other hand, this motion would look like and regular underhand toss. The overhand serve is used more at the start of the high school level all the way to the professional level. An underhand serve is very beginner.

An overhand serve is much harder, you can do a lot more with it.
an underhand serve is short, and doesn't have a lot of speed to it.
Overall, when you serve you want to get good at the overhand serve and eventually try to do a jump serve.

an overhand serve is served by throwing the ball vertically then hitting it with your palm if it didn't reach the net try serving it with your hands closed (like spiking)

Its a type of volleyball serve when the server swings their hand over their head to hit the ball over the net to the other team.
