The serve is an opportunity for a player to go back to the service line and literally win the game from there. If you can serve 15 balls in a row or 25 whatever you are playing to..by the rules of the game, one player could win the game for their team!

Serving the ball is the one skill in volleyball where a player can score a point all by themselves. So why not try?

At least, your goal should be to become that player who can be counted upon to consistently score a series of points from the service line.
