Volleyball Serving Strategy

[@gabrielborghi5346]

I love these videos where you talk more about the strategic part of the game. As a setter I'd love to hear more about setting "distribution", or where should we set the ball in certain situations.

[@coachartie]

Hey great idea!!! Ill put that on my to do list!

[@sow_scout4989]

Been playing for a long time, but there is always something to learn, no matter how basic it can be.

[@coachartie]

Totally agree! I love learning! Even though it's hard sometimes!

[@todayontheinternet9576]

Interesting to see how high school/college coaches seem to have no coherent strategy from serving, it's just 'you must serve at least this hard.' Watch the next collegiate match and see how many 'float' serves actually come out cleanly and actually move (which means the server has the proper technique and speed on their server) it's very few, also count the number of missed servers (not aggressive misses either where it misses by inches), it's pretty eve opening.

[@thefastturtle8243]

I mastered float, it should have float every serve but in some serves its so little that you barely notice and sometimes it just floats from left to right really far.

[@coachartie]

That's interesting! Haven't watched too much college vball but I totally get what you mean! A lot of coaches these days value power and height over anything else.

[@coachartie]

Mastered? Can't wait to see it!

[@thefastturtle8243]

@@coachartie I feel like i've mastered it atleast since i haven't missed my float serve in game for prob a full year now and only miss like 1/50 during practice. My ace record now stands at 23 aces in a row in an actual game from my competition (mind you they never won a set or a match in the full tournament so they were bad)

Dude! Awesome video. I’m sure you’ll blow up soon bc these vids are super high quality. As someone who’s only casually played volleyball but would like to get into it more seriously, thanks for the tips. Subbed!

[@coachartie]

Thanks for your encouragement 🙏 It's a bit of a slog but I'll keep working hard! Glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️

[@morerajuan]

This is my favorite video. I'll see it at least twice a month

[@nitawuz]

I love this type of videos about serving, can learn a lot! Keep it up :D

[@coachartie]

Thank you! Will do! What one would you want next?

[@nitawuz]

@@coachartie maybe something about spike timing?

[@Mmrik]

Just found your video, i like them a lot! Very useful for non-pro players, ty! (And i love Haikyu moments for sure :) )

[@coachartie]

Glad you like them! I'll keep doing my best 😌

Man Coach I like the dreads, I had a set of locks about the same length but I cut em to join my National team. It’s hot here too much sweat and showers and heavy hair😢but I love volleyball so✂️🇬🇺🏐💪🏾😎

[@coachartie]

Awww no! I definitely relate with how hot the locks can get, but I love them too much to cut them off! 🤣 So cool that you're in the national team!!! If your team ever streams a game let me know!

[@anthonysantos3021]

@@coachartie yea man my teammate is uploading one rite now

[@Irfanrein1]

Ngl before i watch this video i only goes for 'just get it over ' serve and when i actually pay attention to my serve the enemy get frustrated quite quickly because they now need to consider what type and where i'll serve

[@justyow9206]

Thanks coach 🙌🙌🙌 i'm from morocco and this help me a loot

[@coachartie]

Happy to hear that! Shout out to Morocco

[@tyer4946]

[@coachartie]

Hope it helps! ☺️

[@champclan6370]

Do you film ur vids at Kelvin Grove college? My friend who’s good at Vb moved there and he Vilms insta vids there

[@coachartie]

Maybe 🤔😏🙏

[@tenkai3839]

started practicing serves, is there a video about adding top spin to a serve?

[@coachartie]

Hmmm I do not have one yet. Sorey

[@Smartypants64]

I have a question, i play setter and cant see why its hard for the setter. I would just turn around instead setting from behind me.

[@coachartie]

As setter it's encouraged to have as many people in your vision as possible. Your middle, pass hitter and pipe attack. If you turn around you only have true vision of your opposite.

[@Smartypants64]

@coachartie ok, but like what if i just change my footing too see the same amount of people but on the other side because court positions tend to be symmetricals. (Sorry for all the questions i just want to be the best setter i can be)

[@chang4852]

@@Smartypants64 If I am interpreting your comment correctly, I think you mean squaring up to the opposite from left side of the front court, whereas traditionally you square up to outside from the right side? If you mean this, this wouldn't work as the setters base position is usually on the right side of the court, and they would have to run to the left side every time based on your scenario. If then you want to suggest having the setter's base position be on the left side (taking up libero and outside), it screws up a lot of the rotations and also presents the same problem of if the server served deep right

[@Smartypants64]

@chang4852 generally, I've been told to stand in the middile of the front as a setter

[@yourmother5810]

@@Smartypants64 That's wrong. Setter stands offset to the right to make room for the middle blocker. If you just turn to face the opposite hitter, as a blocker I can pretty much rule out the middle attack and only focus on the opposite. Even if you do backset to the outside, a good blocker will have plenty of time to get there. If you don't have a middle hit in your offense then it probably doesn't matter what you do. Positions also aren't symmetrical. You have two hitters to your left and one to your right in the frontrow.
