I was STRUGGLING with my overhand this last month. There was one day where not even 1 ball passed to the other side. You come in handy Koko!

The steps I always keep in my head when serving. 1. Get in form 2. Weight on your back foot 3. Hold ball shoulder width w/ your serving arm 4. Bow in arrow back with your serving arm 5. Toss the volleyball right in frount of your serving hand 6. Step through w/ your back foot

Hey Koko, i’m a sophomore who started being really interested in volleyball a couple months ago and started playing by myself all the time and did a camp this summer and tomorrow i’m officially trying out for my schools team for the first time and the one thing i can’t seem to get down is my serve and i think this video helped me tremendously along with a lot of your other videos:)

I’m not a beginner so a lot of tutorials do not come in handy but this…. This just give clear instructions and I feel like this advice will come handy in my future volleyball games!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️

I JUST actually joined volleyball this year for the first time, I’ve had some experience (a little bit since I was 8) but I am struggling with my overhand serve but I am just 💯 perfect on my underhand, this helped me a lot, Thank you. I am going to watch more of your videos for advice 👍

thank you for these drills! our coaches in camp started making us do these awhile ago and I was struggling on being consistent with my tosses. I'll give them a try once I've fully rested.

This helps me a lot since I'm trying to make not only my volleyball year amazing again but be able to let others experience that win with me too

Koko as a beginner at volleyball (having been told all kinds of things) your videos really helped me out to practice. No insane equipment, no complicated techniques or tricks, just simple pure practice to start with. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge about volleyball with us.❤❤

Something my coach pointed out (in my first year of volleyball) that I had to do was have my hitting arm in the air BEFORE I throw up the toss. I just wanted to say that in case it wasn't clear to anyone!

I love these your videos they’ve really help me improve and thanks to your tips and tricks I got on a highschool team and we have a season through summer season thank you for these types of videos

I love ur explanations!:)…u got great, uncomplicated advice and I’m going to try n introduce that into practices for specific players. Thanku!!

Your explanation makes so much sense and it's also very easy to understand thanks a lot

Thank you for the tips, I appreciate the guidance!

Thank you so much this helped me a lot I’m going to watch your videos more often to get better 😁

I literally love you your so sweet and the best teacher

I’ve always been ok at serving now I’m even better thank you koko

THANK YOUUUUUU THIS HELPED ME SOOOO MUCH!

I remember I watched the video on how to overhand serve and I did it so much, got so good I learned jump serving, became the best server on my team, and as a bonus I became the libero of a 15 Smack team.

I’ve been struggling with my overhand, spring season I could serve over the net easily, but now that fall season started they barely ever go over, so thank you

Hi koko thanks for help me how to serve i really love your content and your vlog you are best teacher in volleyball 😊😊😊

Awesome tips! Thank you!

you never disappoint!

Super helpful thanks a bunch 😊 👍🏾

Good tips, I think the toss is often not stressed enough as its absolutely crucial for young players, but missing anything about feet. Some of the biggest problems I see with young players are starting with shoulders facing the net which leaves only a weak arm swing for power, stepping with the wrong foot forward which again means no power as hips and shoulders are already rotated, or if they do set up with the correct foot back stepping through with that foot which rotates hips and shoulders early killing power and making for inconsistent contact. I try to get them to push forward maintaining upper body posture with the hitting elbow up and back until they are swinging, pinning the toes of the back foot to the ground until contact, which keeps hips and shoulders open while starting forward and able to be part of power generation. Power starts at the foot pushing into the floor, way too many miss out on using all the big muscles on the way up and just try to hit it with arm only. Keep good tips coming, love to see young players improve! 👍

Coach Koko you're a life saver ma'am

I was in the volleyball team last year and I’ve been trying to overhand serve for a long time. No matter how much j try I’ve never been able to do it, so i hope this video helps me out!

My first time trying out for any sport as a senior so I’m excited and nervous because I’ve never played before! Let’s see how this goes!

I NEEDED THIS THX SM

Sooo helpful!!! Thank youu soo muchh!!!!

Tysm! I love your channel. New subscriber!

thank you! i always end up losing hope i can never seem to get my ball over the net. hopefully with practice that changes!

KOKO!!! I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO DO AN OVERHAND SERVE AGAHAH IM SO HAPPY (as you can probably tell lol) TYSM FOR THIS VIDEO

my overhand serves where good but never consistent and after i did this i kept doing so good so thank you so much !!

HELPED A LOT TYYYY

I love the sting from the slap, it lets me know i did a good job

thank you so much this video was extremely helpful! I’ve been struggling getting my serves high enough and this also made my servers more powerful

Hi I love volleyball and I start tomorrow so your video helped me practice

A tip my coach told me was that before you serve, always check the height of your elbow. She said one of her girls would always look behind her to make sure her serving hand was raised before she swung.

Thanks im sure this will help i used to have a rlly strong serve but i have been barley makijg my serve go to back row so i need to make my serve strpnger

KOKO SLAYED

My daughter is a lefty too. I am going to enjoy watching your tutorials with her.

this will help me practice more so if i do make the team I can be more consistent while serving :)

YOUR A LIFESAVER!! I’m 13 and a beginner and I can’t join a team so I joined a club and they never got into the details on how to serve so this helped me so much!

great stuff

I have a tournament this week and I want to get that overhand serve for the match! I could seem to get that strength so I’m working on that for Sunday!!

Is there a way you can make a short video/KZfaq short on how you foot position should be when you over hand serve? Btw I love the video btw

So helpful

This is already much better than your video from six years ago. I liked that one. I want to give you 2x likes for this one!

Coach KoKo please make a how to calm volleyball try out nerves I’m really nervous for my next try out more then all my other ones I have always been excepted. But I’m still really nervous. Thanks Coach KoKo you are the best

Thanks!!!!

Thank you sm.

I have this weird problem when I overhand serve. I do this thing where my hand like wiggles backwards then forwards, it messes up my serve, but it’s a habit and I can’t stop doing it even when I try! Luckily it’s starting to go away.

can you do a tutorial for a jump serve?

Love youuuu❤️❤️❤️💖❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the help been a month and now my serves sounds like a bullet

i am STRUGGLING with overhand serving, I’m gonna keep trying to do these hopefully I’ll make the team!!

Thanks

I already know how to do proper overhand serves but it's nice to get a refresher once in a while😊 Edit: i can already jump serve but this is still good because my jump serve is not as accurate as this yet

All these tips are so helpful and helped me get my serve but I feel like something that some don’t understand is your arm’s position hitting the ball. If you find your arm coming from off the side and spinning while in the air, you aren’t hitting it right. Always picture the ball as a high-five. Your arm should be right over your shoulder when you hit the ball. It’ll help the ball go straighter and help following through!

Great video! 13 year old is really struggling with her serve. We'll see if these help, thank you!

Thank you.

I personally struggle with overhand serving and I’ve been playing for 4 years ( I’m 13 ) so when I have to overhand serve I like to add a little jump to make sure it gets over because I know I have the strength.

tysm

THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!! my first game is in 2 days and i still cant serve over the net!! i play for middle school volleyball and the net is 6ft tall and i'm one of the few girls who still can't get my served over the net. thank you!!!

this was posted one day after my b-day!

Can you talk about jump floating and jump spinning serves?

1. Sandwich 2. Bow and arrow 3.toss 4.step 5.swing

Can you do a video on drills to do at home? Especially for serving and spiking!😂

I just can’t figure out how to put enough power in my hit

One thing that was an issue for me was where I faced when I served. If you face more towards on direction, its most likely gonna go that way. Also, making sure to not swing across your body, straight swing is best!

ty for this koko!! I'm a setter on my schools team, which means I'm on a LOT of the time. Sadly, my coach has to sub me out when its my turn to serve, because I simply can't get my serve to go far enough. I'd really like to learn to get my overhand serve over the net, so that I don't have to be subbed out when its my turn to serve. I really like playing backrow, so I hope I get to more if I learn it. thanks!

That me again for the wonderful video!

This helps

I’m good at overhand,but my form could be better. This is so helpful ❤

My daughter could never serve over the net but now she can thanks😊

My serves are a 60 40 chance. I toss the ball high because I jump and I keep my hand firm until contact and my height of my jump helps get it across but 🤷‍♀️

I can serve it overhand it is.jist that sometimes I hit it on my fingers and I have to get used to it

I made my junior high volleyball team, but I am one of the only ones who takes underhand serves because my overhand serves only go over the net once in a few tries, luckily our first game is in like 2 weeks so I plenty of time to practice

how to i get my stance right?

But how do you fix your timing on when to hit it?

i bow down and toss and i still have verry good serve, i actually cant toss nicely without bowing down

Is that ok that toss the ball with two hand?

OMG your t-shirt! Is that BTS inspired? so cuteee 😍😍

One of my daughters is a leftie and struggling.

Hi Koko! Everyone I have watched has bounced it before they served it. I was just wondering if we have to do that when we serve?🏐

I have a HUGE problem with serving and actually being able to get it over the net, and it seems like im never able to get any power behind my arms no matter how many tutorials I watch and I have tryouts soon. HELP ME PLEASE

I have tried all the tips in the world but I still can’t get my serve😢

Y’all pls help 😭 So I have been interested in volleyball and I’ve been contacting a volleyball club and they finally answered me but they said that they were going to contact the people that were interested to try playing. I don’t know if it’s a try out or not and I don’t know what I have to learn to get in 😔

My try outs is August 5th and I’m so scared

coach better than my own coach

Hey Koko! I was wondering what do I do if I wanna practice at home? My sister says "If you want a volleyball you have to pay for it. It's not like ur on a team or something." It's true I'm not on a team but I have a passion for volleyball and I really wanna get good at it but, I don't have a volleyball at home. The only times I practice is during pe or brunch and lunch the thing is that, that's at school. I don't have enough money to buy a volleyball either. So, do you know something I could do? If you do thanks so much!

My problem is when I wanna hit the ball I feel the power in my hands but when I hit the power didn't come out !! IDK whyyy! 👉👈

I have no upper body strength so my serves are really weak and I can’t even make it to the net

Is the ball hard?

I think I was supposed to watch this yesterday...

thankyou i subed after this it helped

Do you have camps

I do jump serves, but I can’t get a regular overhand serve over the net for nothing😂😂

Odd question but does anyone know what brand of volleyball that is? Those ones work great an my school has them, but i never have time to look at the brand name!

Does anyone else get pain in their forearm when serving and hitting the ball? My forearm gets swollen after hitting and serving and becomes quite sore. I think it’s to do with the position of my hand on the ball but I’m not sure how to fix it 😢
