Volleyball Serve Loses Points
In Intramural League Play
(Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of articles on the finer
points in playing volleyball.)
by Robert E. Blade
It ought to be fairly easy to hit a volleyball over an eight-
foot high net into a court thirty feet square. Yet poor serv-
ing is a common failure and is a deciding factor in almost
every volleyball game. It does a team little good to play
hard to win the serve and then lose it with a bad serve.
One should remember that a team cannot score a point
unless it can put the ball into play*^
with a good serve. The serve must
be mastered by every player on
the team.
The rules do not require the
server to hit the ball a certain
way when serving. The server may
use his fist, open hand, fingers or
heel of the hand. He may face the
court or serve with his back to
it. However it is generally best
to face the court squarely with
both feet at least two feet behind
the backcourt line.
The server must be careful not
to step on or over the backcourt
line until he has made contact
with the ball. Once he has hit the
ball he should step quickly into
the court and assume a defensive
position.
There are three standard
serves: the underhand, overhand
and roundhouse. The underhand
serve is the most consistent and
most easily controlled serve. The
ball should move up and over the
net giving the opposition little time
to look at it. Some servers use
a sidearm serve which is difficult
to control because its trajectory is
horizontal to the playing surface.
The sidearm is not recommended.
The underhand serve is executed
by placing the ball in the palm of
the left hand (for right-handers)
and swinging the right arm for-
ward and upward, hitting the ball
into the air. Normally the server
should attempt to hit the ball to
the center of the back court of
the opposing team. This is the
