I think it&#8217;s so terribly easy to just mindlessly go back to the serving line and serve, but then you get in a match and all the sudden you want to be laser focused.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think this is a pretty simple one to answer. Make every serve in practice intentional and mindful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t do drills where servers just serve to allow passing to happen. I&#8217;m talking about your bog standard serve &amp; pass drill so many people use to work on reception. Instead, have the servers work on something specific and ensure they get coaching feedback and focus on that. <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/drill-flip-switch\/\">Flip-Switch<\/a> is an example of this. So too are servers vs. passers games<a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/game-giovannis-serving-passing\/\"> like this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same thing in games. Make sure each server is attempting something specific every ball. That could be through calling serves, even if you <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/thinking-on-the-subject-of-calling-serve-zones\/\">don&#8217;t necessarily do that in matches<\/a>. Or maybe you use <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/volleyball-games-using-bonus-points-effectively\/\">bonus points<\/a> linked to serving objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do that and focused match serving will come naturally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A volleyball coach wants to know how to get more mindful, intentional serving by players in practice.
