SERVING

Beginners must show basic serving competency and accuracy

Serving 1 – 10 underhand serves

Testing Process

Athlete stands at the service line and performs 10 underhand serves. Athlete self-counts serves, and must serve 10 in 11 attempts (they are allowed one error).

Coaching Cues
If this happens Use this cue
Athlete is sidearm serving “Straight back, fast through the ball”
Athlete is tossing the ball up to serve “Put the ball on a tee”
Athlete is standing up on serve “Watch the ball leave your hand”

Serving 2 – 10 Overhand serves

Testing Process

Athletes stand at the service line and performs 10 overhand serves. Athlete self-counts serves and must serve 10 in 11 attempts (they are allowed one error).

Coaching Cues
If this happens Use this cue
Ball is not reaching the net “Shoulder back, fast through the ball”
Ball is spinning off the hand “High five through the centerline”
Toss is not going where intended “Straight arm, lift the ball”

Serving 3 – 10 to 1/6/5

Testing Process

Coach sets up cones to mark off the 1/6/5 court locations on the receiving side of the court. Athlete must serve 3 in a row to position 5, three in a row to position 6, and then three in a row to position 1. Athlete is allowed one missed serve during the process. A second missed serve returns them to the beginning of the challenge.

Once the athlete successfully completes three serves to each location (1/6/5), the athlete then calls the coach over. The coach provides a location to serve (1, 6, or 5) and the athlete must serve the location on the first try. If the athlete fails the final serve, they must return to the beginning.

Coaching Cues
If this happens Use this cue
Ball is not reaching the net “Shoulder back, fast through the ball”
Ball is spinning off the hand “High five through the centerline”
Toss is not going where intended “Straight arm, lift the ball”
Aim is off “Look at target, toss at target, high-five to target”
