how to seve a volleyball (underhand)

The start of a volleyball game begins with a serve. If you are right handed, you would hold the ball in you left hand, palm up, gently (if you are left handed it will held in your right). Hold the ball out in front of you with a straight elbow and keep it just below the height of your shoulder. Place your right foot behind you (at a comfortable distance) and bend your knees slightly. Your right hand should be in the shape of a fist, but to the side, thumb facing upwards. Your pointer finger and thumb should look somewhat like a backwards, lowercase e. When you are ready to serve, stand behind the line of the volleyball court. Get in your proper foot stance, but also cock your right arm back as far as you comfortably can (do not strain). In one swift motion, bring your back foot forward along with your cocked arm and knock the ball out of your hand with your "e". It is important to swing all the way through the ball but to also keep your eyes on the ball all the way through the motion. Strength is not the key component in swinging a ball. With practice, you will learn the proper aim and speed to ace your opponents- which is when the opposing side is unable to return the ball back to your side of the court. The more you practice, the better you will be. Do not fret if you are not able to serve the ball right away, it will come to you eventually.
