Question

State any five types of services in the game of volleyball.

Answer 1

1. Underhand serve: The server strikes the ball with a low, swinging motion (palm or fist) while holding the ball in the other hand; often used by beginners.
2. Overhand floater (float serve): An overhand serve where the hand “punches” the ball without wrist snap so the ball floats and wobbles unpredictably in flight.
3. Topspin (standing topspin) serve: An overhand serve with a wrist snap and follow-through that imparts forward spin for a faster, dipping trajectory.
4. Jump serve (jump topspin): An advanced serve where the server takes an approach, jumps from behind the end line, and hits the ball in the air, usually with topspin for power.
5. Jump float serve: A variation of the jump serve in which the server jumps but strikes the ball to produce a floating (non-spinning) flight, combining difficulty of timing with unpredictable movement.
