Developing the Serve - Underhand and Overhand

This Sportplan session covers the key coaching points for both the underhand and overhand serves to help your players become a serving sensation!

It's one of the fundamental skills of the game that can be completed by anyone. You don't need to be hugely tall or strong to be an accomplished server, it just takes practice!

It's important to spend time working on your players' serving as it's your first chance to score against your opponent.

To help your players perfect their serve we start slowly, beginning with the underhand serve. Progressing step-by-step this session builds the technique. Firstly you demonstrate the correct technique to your group, providing the model, and then get your players to work in pairs - observing each other and providing feedback to ensure correct form.
