Whats an ACE in Volleyball


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

The serve is the first and only opportunity for an individual player on a team to score a point by themselves.


Every other point scoring opportunity has to be done with two or three players working together to put the ball on the opponents floor without them being able to pass or dig up the ball.

So whats an ace in volleyball?

An ace in volleyball is when a server sends the ball over the net with a

....that lands on the opposing team's floor without a passer getting to it to pass it up to make a playable ball that resends the ball back over the net.... 

THAT's AN ACE, baby!

It’s a direct point earned for the team by the player who served the ball. 

Yes that could be YOU!!

And that's why you want to learn how to develop a good serve because that's a sure way to get playing time...no matter what other skills you can perform.
