DESCRIPTION

Stage three of the serving progressions;

Working in pairs, players throw the ball to go over the net to their partner (with no bounce), stepping forward with the opposite leg to the hand that you roll the ball over with (using body weight).

So if players throw the ball with their right hand they should step forward with their left foot.

COACHING POINTS

The ball should pass with a bit of loop over the net.

Underhand Serving

A fun and simple way to introduce the serve.

Using the underhand serve players pass the ball over the net one another.

There should be no loose balls here, players should focus on accuracy as they aim to get the ball up and over.

Once again players should be stepping forwards with the opposite leg to the hand that you serve with.

If they are successful 3 times in a row the player can take a step back and move closer to the back line.

Once players reach the back line they can swap roles.
