How To Receive Volleyball Serve Tips To Learn How To Fix Your Pass
Serve Receive Tip No.1: Anticipate 


Anticipate where you need to be.

Get there BEFORE you start passing the ball.

By focusing early on the ball while it's in the server's hands you get an early indication on whether she is going to serve short, cross court, or down the line.

Serve Receive Tip No.2: Keep Track 


Keep your eyes on the ball.

Visually track it as it leaves the server's hand, crosses the net, and all the way into your platform.

Many passers get distracted, taking their eyes off the ball or tracking it once it crosses the net, which is late.

Focusing on the ball early lets you anticipate necessary minor adjustments in your platform or with your feet.

Serve-Receive Tip No. 3: Be Square 


Square your shoulders to the net before contacting the ball.

In other words try and keep your shoulders parallel to the net when passing. 

You won't have any more arm adjusting once you make contact with the ball.

Serve Receive Tip No.4: Stay Flexible


Shift your body weight from your back (left) foot to your front (right) foot when contacting the ball.

Do this when you need to add a little more barbecue sauce to the ball to get it to the target without swinging your platform.
