 Hey what's up you guys welcome back to my channel. My name is Coach Coco and I love volleyball. So much so my channel's filled with tips tricks hacks and anything you can ever need to know about volleyball. So today let's take it back to the basics and talk about our overhand serve. Let's get right into it. Use volleyball typically when you get to that junior high high school and collegiate level. We want to learn how to overhand serve because it's not only going to help us be the best player that we can be but when we start learning it even if you're not at one of those levels it can help you later on so it's not as difficult. So let's talk about overhand serving form. Our arms should be. I've seen players who start here. I've seen players who come and they start out here but what we really want is we want our shoulder at that 90 degree angle so that way we can open our shoulder up to get the best range of motion possible. Range of motion is the available range that your shoulder has to access when swinging. So let's get a closer up shot of what this shoulder looks like. Opening up the shoulder. I'm not here. I'm not here. I'm here. So when I come all the way through I can feel the accessible range from that shoulder. Now with our non-dominant arm I'm right-handed so I have my right hand back my left hand forward. If you were left-handed you would have your left hand back and your right hand forward. Do we see that? Right-handed Left-handed. Now one of the things that I see often that players do is when they're tossing they'll toss all the way down and try to come back up. That's something that we want to prevent happening. We don't want to come all the way down and come back up. We want to simply toss for where we are and up so that way we can step into the ball. Tossing for where we are and up. Now I have to come back up and then I have to somehow meet the ball. So where we are and up. That is a second key. So the first key is getting into that form. We're talking about upper body right now. The second key is doing that toss. The third key is stepping into it and coming all the way through. Stepping into it and coming all the way through. We want to hit the ball at the highest point. That means that I'm not going to wait for the ball to drop all the way down before I contact it. I'm not going to contact the ball when it's all the way up in the sky. I'm going to wait until the ball when I step right back into it. My hand should be meeting the ball. So let's talk about the form all together as one movement. The word of the day today is synergy. Synergy means everything working together in unison. We want our volleyball form when we're serving to be one combined movement. So my body all together. Now here we're not going to serve like this. This is not accessing the available range. Nothing will happen here. We want to stagger our feet. Your non-dominant leg, left foot, left arm, right, and we're going to turn our hips facing outward. Why do you think it's a good idea to turn my hips facing outward? So that way when I serve my hips come in when I'm swinging. When I serve my hips come in when I'm swinging. I have seen players who come and they start here, but then you're also not accessing that full available range. So key one, when you're about to serve you come up to the line. Key one, we're going to stagger our stance. We're going to open up our arm. That's part of key one. Key two, you toss it. Key three, you come all the way through. Now it's important to note my arm went all the way through. When we're doing the standard float serve, that's when we can stop like we're doing a high five, but right now we're just talking about the standard serve in general. We're going to come all the way through. I toss up and I come all the way through. I'm opening my shoulder. I'm here. I toss up. I come all the way through. My mute small things that you can do if your serve isn't going over or you need some more assistance trying to get your serve over. But right now let's work on that form. Work on getting your hip formed so that way you can get used to it. With everything, I hope that you liked this video. Please like, comment, subscribe, and I'll see you guys next time.
