Whats an ace in volleyball? When a server sends the ball over the net with a jump serve, standing float serve or an underhand serve that lands on the opposing teams floor without a passer getting to it to pass it up.. that’s called an ace. It’s a direct point earned for the team by the player who served the ball.

The first opportunity to score a point happens when it’s your turn to serve.

I share alot of individual, partner and easy-to-do volleyball serving drills we do in class with my followers.

Many of these volleyball practice drills you can do at home by yourself or try at your next practice with your teammates.

If you're a B team or JV player trying to make varsity next year...your goal should be to complete 1000 reps a day of at least three of the basic skills on your own...volleyball passing, serving and setting should be at the top of the list.
