There are 6 zones on the court.
Six players rotate in and out of those zones so anyone of these six players who rotate into Zone 1 after their team has won the rally can serve. That person is called the "server" and is the only one who can serve at the beginning of each rally.
A player can be substituted in from off the bench to replace one player on the court to serve in their place.
in collegiate, high school and middle school competition a libero can serve. Only in international competition is a libero prohibited from serving in volleyball.

not contact any of the server's teammates before passing into the opponents court
must completely travel between the two antenna's before landing into the opponents court
not land in the net
land out of bounds
pass over players who are creating a screen as blockers making it difficult or impossible for the opposing team's passers to see the travel path of the ball
