Volleyball Zones

Here's why serving to specific volleyball court zones like Position 5, 3 and 6 are important. 

When coaching girl's volleyball I concentrate alot on the serving fundamentals because of this reason...

• you are the only person who controls the effectiveness of YOUR serve and
• its the one fundamental you can do without the intervention of anyone else to score a direct point with .

...that is very powerful and trust me even many elite players don't take advantage of this unique opportunity.

Volleyball Court Zones: Here's why serving to specific volleyball court zones like Position 5, 3 and 6 are important.

Serve short while tall players are in the front row and they won't have time to back up and take their usual long approach. (JMR)

Serve Short to the Middle Front Position 3.

The short serve short to the front row hitter is very effective in girls volleyball.

Many players serve short because it's an option or because it happens by accident but elite volleyball players serve short because they know that the short serve is an equalizer especially when tall players are in the front row.

Like airplanes Tall volleyball players usually need longer runways to make their approach-in order to hit hard and inside the court.

If the "runway" is cut short...then that "plane" has a hard time taking off. So you the server need to "shorten" the runway way path.

Serve them short while they are in the front row and they won't have time to back up and take their usual long approach.

If they still DO Get the set...they usually don't have the time or the strength to hit as hard or as high as they would if they weren't passing so YOU have effectively helped YOUR team by serving the BIG girl (excuse me TALL girl...I hate when people call me BIG) in the front row...and YOU have intelligently taken her out of the offense.

Why should girls who play volleyball always remember this next smart option which is to serve straight down the middle of the court to Position 6? (Neon Tommy)

Why should girls who play volleyball always remember this next smart option which is to serve straight down the middle of the court to Position 6?

Instead of serving from either corner of the volleyball court try standing right in the middle of the baseline and serve straight down the middle to the opposite end line.

Usually in the backrow there are two people in serve receive.

Aim for the head of the middle blocker in the front row and serve right towards the back line. Both the left back and right back receivers are forced to decide on or fight over the "divorce maker" ball that goes right down the middle between the two of them.

If done right, the ball will fall right between the two passers and you the server are a HERO not a ZERO!

Don't just go through the motions...remember to practice your individual skill because the ball is in Your hands!
