YOGYAKARTA Under-volleyball service is one of the basic techniques that must be mastered, especially for novice volleyball players.

Please note, volleyball service is a ball blow made from the backline area of the game field. When serving, the ball must be beaten hard to soar up to pass the net and land inside the opponent's area. Therefore, service can also be interpreted as the first attack in volleyball games.

In volleyball, services are carried out when the game starts, dead balls occur and ball transfers. The perfect volley service is the one the opponent finds difficult to parry. Therefore, the players must evaluate the basic techniques of volleyball service.

There are two basic volleyball service techniques, namely bottom service and top service. So, what's the difference?

The bottom service is a service with the start of the ball at the bottom with his hands holding the ball and the other hand hitting the ball. The hand used to hit the ball was swung from behind to the front tightly so that the ball could be thrown into the opponent's area.

While the top service was service with the beginning throwing the ball up then hitting it hard into the opponent's area. When serving up, one hand held the ball and threw it up, then the other hand hit the ball by swinging his hand from above.

How to Serve Under Volleyball

According to Detriana in her book entitled Volleyball Learning Model, volleyball bottom serve cannot be done carelessly. The reason is, the position of the hands and feet must be right so that the ball can enter the opponent's area.

Here's how to serve volleyball:

For your tips, when you want to serve under a volleyball, the hand used to hit the ball must be ready and have strong energy. Avoid hitting using a weak hand so that the ball can pass the net and not deviate off the field.

In addition, you also should pay attention to the position of your feet when serving volleyball. The right position of the feet when performing the bottom serve is to put the strongest legs slightly behind. If your right foot is stronger, then place your left foot in front, and right foot in the back.

Next, look into the opponent's area, look for the right gap to direct volleyball so that opposing players find it difficult to anticipate the ball that enters the area. That way the opportunity to get points will be even greater.

That's how to do the right bottom serve volleyball. Good luck!
