The volleyball drills passing liberos are good at doing after learning how to pass a tough server consistently with good technique and clean body movements.
Whether you do these volleyball drills passing specialists do at home by yourself, or do them in practice with your teammates, it's best to get in the habit of setting mini goals for yourself to reach in order to complete each drill.
For example, let's say you have to get 50 perfectly passed balls to the target before stopping one drill and going on to the next.
Not only will you discipline yourself to perform the volleyball drills passing correctly, but you will replicate the pressure you will feel in a game-like situation when you absolutely have to do the skill right.

Start by passing the ball back and forth. One person is on the ten foot line and the other three feet inside the end line or back court line. . .
The person closest to the net, on the ten foot line, is the control “target” partner. . .
This is the “target” person who never moves and where the partner who is working needs to get the ball to. . .

Serving slang is not just about individual techniques; it also relates to overall game strategy. A coach might instruct a player to serve a "short serve" or a "deep serve" to target specific areas of the opponent's court or exploit weaknesses in their serve receive formation.
Ari, my private training client and I are working specifically on serving on jump float cross court serves ...short to Zone 2
There's so much we work on to get to this point where she can contact the ball with
- the same toss height and same toss location
- the same armswing speed
- the same timing for when her serving hand contacts the ball
- the middle of the hand contacting the middle of the ball every single time
- getting use to watching her serving hand contact the ball at the highest point of her jump ...before she starts to land
- and finally contacting the ball in the precise spot on the ball so it goes where the coach wants the player to put it so in this case ..a short serve in the farthest short right corner on the court also called Zone 2.
