 Welcome back to my channel. I have heard your request and today we're doing the infamous float serve. So if you haven't watched my overhand serve tutorial, I highly suggest that you master your overhand serve before you attempt the float serve. The float serve is my personal favorite because it is the most deadly and why it's the most deadly is because it comes right to your body when you're back row passing. So today we're going to talk about how to float serve. Let's get right in. Steps that you already are familiar with, like the bow and arrow. Except we're going to change our toss and our hand just a little bit. With the bow and arrow, we start bow, arrow, toss, and we step into it. We're going to add a jump in there because we're going to add a small jump. Not a jump serve, a small jump that's going to help us get a higher angle for the ball to float over the net. So what we're going to do is we're going to just practice doing our standing float. We're going to work on our standing float before we add our jump in. So our standing float is just the hand. Now in our overhand serve tutorial, in order to get topspin on the serve, you're going to make your hand more of a cup ball shape when we serve the ball. We're going to follow through. With the float serve, we're going to come up and then stop and then follow through. For example, the float. If you don't know what a float is, a float is when a ball has no topspin on it whatsoever. It floats over the net. Topspin when the ball spins and it drops over the net. Similar to a down ball. So we're going to work on just our floats. So before you start jump float, we're going to float. Just practice doing your bow, arrow, toss, hit. Okay. Notice how my hand was flat when I did that. I want to have the least amount of topspin on. Now let's say you just mastered your float. Your float is master. You feel confident with your float. Your float is doing good. Perfect. Let's add in the step that I like the most, the mini jump. Now remember, let's pretend there's a virtual volleyball line back here. Now with the jump float and jump serves, you have to jump from behind the volleyball line and land after the volleyball line or jump behind the volleyball line and land behind the volleyball line. You cannot start over the volleyball line when you're doing a jump serve. All right. So we're going to start well behind the volleyball line. And I suggest you really practice this. It's going to take you a while to get jump float. We're not going to jump like we're going to jump for joy. We're just going to do a little hop. Okay. There are two ways to do a jump float. My personal favorite is the one arm jump float. When you come in and you just, I had a little hop. Just a little hop. Bow, arrow, toss, two arm jump float. The two arm jump float is when you toss it up and then you hit it. Now with the jump float, what's really important is the toss. With our normal serve, your toss can be a little bit higher. With the jump float, you want to toss to meet you right when your hand comes out because it's quicker. So we want to work on the toss right in front of you, right in front of you, because you're going to meet that ball time you jump up to get it. You're kind of jumping up to get the ball right in front of you. Okay. I personally like the one hand because I'm used to it, but some of you guys might like the two hand, but let's also let's go back and look at the feet. Now one thing that I always say to my players is it's called the creep method. So you're going to come up jump, two jump, jump. Now when you're jumping between that jump is where you need to be hitting the ball. Let's look at it in real time. Creep, creep, jump. Let's try it again. It's going to take some time to practice this. Creep, jump. The two hand is just a little bit different. Same creep method, creep, jump. Now make sure with your toss with the two hand, your toss is right in front of you because it can get out of control. Say something about the jump float. The jump float is more of a difficult skill to learn, especially if you're just now learning how to overhand serve. I highly suggest that you learn your overhand serve really, really well till you feel like you're getting consistent serves over the net before you start practicing your jump float. While jump floats are really deadly, I still want you to master one thing at a time. If you aren't following me on Snapchat, please do.
