Whenever possible pass with both feet on the court floor.

Don't jump bump.

Volleyball Player Passing Tips: You cannot be airborne and expect to perform the serve receive volleyball skill well.

Stay low and work to be patient and let the ball come down to you and avoid rising up to meet the ball while its still high in the air.

Three Volleyball Player Passing Tips: Move Your Feet Quickly

Volleyball Player Passing Tips: You have to fight the temptation of breaking your arms together especially when you are passing on the move. (Jaroslaw)

Pass with your feet first not with your arms.

This sounds a little tricky to understand but what this means is that you need to get into the habit of getting to the ball first by getting your feet behind the ball, first, no matter where it is.

There is a volleyball passing drill that really illustrates how this should look.

A player starts in the left back serve receive position...another one can be in the right back position as well.

Move quickly to beat the ball to where you think its going to land and then try and be stopped before you pass the ball.

A coach from mid court on the other side of the volleyball net will first underhand serve a ball anywhere to the left side of the court.

The left side passer has to keep her/his arms behind his back at all times and run to get his/her feet to the ball in time to allow the ball to take ONE bounce through their legs.

Passing is done when you hold both wrists together and with both thumbs side by side and pointing to the ground as you contact the ball on the forearms of both arms. (April Chapple)

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.
