Well, there are jump sets and jump serves, and they are used for very different things.

Jump sets are most commonly used by the setter, or the person who sets the ball up for another player to hit. The player using the jump set will, as the name implies, set the ball while jumping in the air. This is used to achieve higher sets or to set balls that are low or particularly close to the net.

Jump serves are an alternate form of serving. Instead of standing still to serve, the player will approach the ball, throw it higher than normal, then jump and serve the ball while in the air. This type of serve is usually more powerful than a normal serve, making it harder to receive.
