Floaters are crazy hard to pass. I've seen some that literally look like they're shaking in the air.
6:25 you can see the ball change direction mid air
That's some anime shit right there
Justin jy haikyuu to be exact
@@estherowa9948I watch the ducking ova too
For over hand serves at my school, no one knows what top spin or floaters are except my two friends who play travel. We were taught to just toss, two steps, then hit it. Almost everyone serves a floater. It sucks so much cuz it’s so hard to receive
Am I the only one who thinks it’s so beautifully good
Literally any volleyball video:

It's because we understand the sport better

This is by far the best explanation I've found on CZcams, thank you Coach Donny
Jean Boucher its excelent ...
@@ElevateYourselfOfficial I might be being stupid but could you explain what actually makes the ball not spin? I’ve been struggling with doing a float serve and I think knowing what makes the ball stay still would help me a lot
@@GAn1ms So the less time your hand is on the ball the less spin it gets. That's why for a normal over hand your hand doesn't freeze it goes through the ball... More spin...
I won hundred percent agree this is the best explanation I have seen I’m trying to teach my daughter and it’s gonna be a minute but this is the best
I've been looking EVERYWHERE on how to do an overhand serve and this is the ONLY video that has helped! Thanks so much for the great advice!
Elevate Yourself could you do a tutorial on standing topspin serves

GET OUT
I'm on this chanell thanks to rolling thunder ☺ and it really helps (the videos)

Gosh, I miss Haikyuu.
Rolling thunder... AGAIN! 😂

Yamaguchi would be proud.
yassss
yes, haikyuu rocks.
+Amira Longoria you mean Daichi?
Yeah he will
He does jump float serve
starting motion
1. Feet V shape
2. Weight back
3. Present ball at right arm
4. elbow back
5. big firm hand
serving motion
1. toss
2. left step
3. elbow
4. freeze
1. V shape, elbow back, freeze
2. contact the ball with a firm hand at Monkey bar blister (sound like a thud)
- contact the equator
Thank you Coach Donny!
YAMAGUCHI NICE SERVEEEEE! 😂🏐🔥🤙
Finally got the hang of it ! I already had a float-ish serve I self-learnt by trial and error, but having the right fundamentals is mandatory to improve. Thanks Coach, great detailed explanation !
I didn't really know anything about volleyball but everyone told me that I should try it so I did, I was immediately good for my first season. My serves were good, my passes, my sets (although I didn't know how to hit). Then I started watching haikyuu, it gave me so much motivation I can't even explain. I practice every single day and I never give up. Haikyuu really did something to me and I don't know what it changed, it gave me something, and now I'm unstoppable. Everytime I walk on the court everyone somehow knows my name, every serve, pass, set, there's people yelling my name and I don't even know who they are 😳 I'm going into 8th grade and I've had my jump serve for about a year now, I've learned how to hit and I'm still practicing them every single day. I set to myself around the house and I've become obsessed. I love to learn from my coaches and I just love volleyball in general :)) Thanks for reading my story 😂
This really will help me during my league, I've been trying so hard to do overhand serves, and now I might be able to do it!
Thanks a lot!! That made my day!! :)
Incredible! I never make comments so this is a tribute to how much this means to me. Your explanations are concise and in-depth. Thanks for all the great help!
One more excelent tutorial from coach Donny! All details are there! Simple but very complete explanation. Step by step, with the key words to reinforce the essential. Keep doing thinks like this!! Perfect!!
After a month and a half of learning, I finally learned how to a float serve. Now every time I do it, I get this amazing feeling of satisfaction when I see it floating randomly in the air with absolutely no spin that increases greatly when I see the receiver having trouble deciding how to hit the ball, which then feels EVEN better when I score an ace. Thanks man, you really helped me! Next stop, jump serves!
Thank you! Great clear advice. Also, this is the only advice I've heard with regard to what part of the hand to use for a float serve and why.
I have been having some trouble with my serve lately, overthinking it and reacting to various tips. But this video was very informative, well thought out and solid fundamentals. I played recently and my serves were more consistent in distance and aim. Thank you for sharing this! Sincerely.
Definitely going to try out this coach, I have been doing a basic overarm serve in volleyball but I've become interested in these advanced serving techniques because sometimes i manage to make my serves float on accident (without thinking or attempting to make them float) but most times they have some top spin. :D great video!
Earned a new subscriber. Very detailed description!! I've just started volleyball and watching your videos really help with how to properly do volleyball techniques!! Please keep it up
Thank you for posting this! This really helped me with my form, and it improved my volleyball serve!
I have been playing for 10 years but have never been officially coached. I have developed pretty good spin serves but have been wanting to develop a float serve for my assortment of Different serves. I will be practicing this! Thank you!
Thank you Coach Donny for this very helpful video. My coach wants me to perfect my float serve but it's been a struggle. Luckily your video pointed out many things I was doing wrong.
Sometime long ago some Hippies introduced Volleyball to me in the Age of like 5. Since then I was always trying to play a bit. I totally Forgott about Volleyball since some years and then found it again for me. It was so exiting and bc of you I got so much better. Thanks!
thank you so much for making this video!! i've been having troubles with my float serve, and you helped me out. thanks so much!! ❤️
I loved this video!! I am having trouble with my overhand serve and I can't wait to use these tips, probably the best volleyball tutorial channel.
omg! finnaly found a video to help with my serves! After watching this and learning from it, it really stepped up my serving game a lot! Thanks so much!
I'm really looking forward to learn this serve, I've been playing for three years and I really wanted to be able to serve effectively. It was kinda weird with my previous coaches, they didn't really teach us how to serve and then they blamed us for "giving away" points at tournanents, because we were all beginners and couldn't really get points by spiking either. We were playing in 19U but most of us had only played for two or three years, so it was no wonder that we couldn't beat thr others, who have been playing for 6 and more years. Now they split us up into those who they thought can make progress faster that the others and those who were too old to play 19U. We now have a new coach and we are learning everything the previous ones didn't teach us, stuff like an overhead serve, spiking and blocking.
Great videos, they are very helpful. The video provides the step by step instructions from start to finish, including body position, leg angle, arm movement, everything. Thank you.
When I serve, somehow it ends up with a top spin almost all the time. That could be because I may not be keeping my palm stiff. I will try the suggestion in the video and keep my palm flat and stiff rather than loose. Hope that will help.
thank you so much 😭 i watched this before practice and i improved sooooo much. before mine wouldn’t even go over but now almost every single one went over
Me too hahaha
omg thank you SO MUCH, this is the exact video i needed to help me improve my serves!!
Thank you so much for uploading this video! You explain float serves so much better than the other videos I've watched!
Awesome video. Thanks for all the lessons. It will be my first year as the middle school girl's volleyball team. This was one of my biggest concerns. Your video was helpful. I can't wait to try this for myself in the gym.
Thanks for those tips of serving ! It's really helping a lot ! I would like to watch the next part too
I could watch float serves all day
Honestly. I've watched a lot of your videos and everytime i watched one, combined with what i watched and learned for haikyuu i got better, yet i never came across this video. Ever since i started volleyball (around 1 and a half year ago) I've been struggling a lot with services and i figured that i was lacking strength (I know it's stupid but i thought that my technique was good. P.S it was trash). My point is that after 20 minutes of trying everything that you said in the video (not even joking), I managed to get my first floating serve. (170cm middle blocker here btw). So all in all, thanks a lot. This is one of the happiest moments in my life!!!
I watched the Receive video and Immediately got Better! Can't wait to practice this!
We started our volleyball season so we got a lot of competitions. Thank you so much!
how did your season go?
This is so helpful! Having it laid out step by step, each part of the process is so clear. Thank you for explaining, this is the best explanation I’ve ever heard. The tossing part was SUPER helpful and I repeat the 4 steps in my head every time.
Thank you so much for such a detailed tutorial! It's very useful to remember these key points and execute them on court.
Donny, come on the podcast! Your communication on this is golden. More people should get on board with these vids.
There are people who have been playing for years who are just getting it NOW!
Omg thank you so much for this video!!! I have a volleybal tryout coming up and this just saved my life so thank you so much!!!
me too
I have to learn how to overhand before school starts or I cant get in. My family cant afford lessons so I have to self learn but I cant seem to hit it correctly and im stressed and always deep like crying cause volleyball is a sport I have fallen in love with. 😭
ARMYLcaratgotizen For life ify
I’ve been there. try playing beach, it’s great for self taught players and helps with speed when playing indoor. Ppl are generally nicer too
Hit ur palm when serving
Wow
I started middle school volleyball yesterday and found all of your videos very helpful
Really good turtorial.That will improve my serve for sure.Thanks Donny!
WOW AMAZING i always wanted to learn float serve because my seniors have a good service and i wanted to be like them
Update: 6 Years passed and I became a well rounded player as I played Opposite, Libero, and Setter for my HS team. After watching this video through the years I've practiced my service constantly during training and based on my self actualisation I became one of the strong consistent servers on my team. Now I'm in college hoping to use the skills I've learned and now currently trying to enter the college varsity team. Wish me luck 💅

Fantastic video!! As always! Thanks very much for these great videos.
I have volleyball for my P.E. class this term in college, first year, 2nd term, and I'm hoping to start a volleyball club at my community college. This term is the first time I've ever played volleyball and I'm hoping to learn this serve so I can show my teacher that I'm serious about wanting to play more and with that either get him or someone else to advise the club. Thank you for the excellent video!
This guy is an incredible teacher! Such clear and detailed explanations -plus great technique tips I haven't heard in other videos. Way to go #CoachDonny!!
you are best coach. Thank for the video
Thank you SO MUCH for this. We are so grateful and we love your videos 🙏🏐
I've been automatically put in the Libero position because no one else can receive consistently, but I want to also be recognized as a valuable back row player that includes serving. Your videos are really helping me build confidence as I'm the least experienced I my team but improving the most. Just really wanna say thanks!
Thank you so much sir, I’m a junior this year and I suck at volleyball but your videos are helping me soooo much and I’m learning things and it’s amazing like I literally cry in frustration and then I look you up to help me and you do 😭 thank you!!!!

Thank you. This tutorial is so helpful and easy to understand.
thank you i am the smallest on my team but i have a wicked serve i have been looking into a float serve since i think more about strategies than strength using the float serve is really gonna help
When you watched haikyuu during quarantine And you suddenly love volleyball
When Haikyuu brought you here at first, and now your back because of your love for volleyball
Exact opposite for me, I used to come here because my volleyball coach wanted us to learn how to float serve but now after watching haikyuu i have more motivation to play volleyball better lol
Great volleyball tips and techniques. Subbing for sure. Thanks coach 👍
Great explanation and demonstration - Good Job and many thanks
Can you still start volleyball when your 14 and a beginner I’m to chicken to try out for my high school volleyball team 😓

Hey, great video! Definitely going to try some float serves tonight. One request: could you make a video teaching how to jump topspin serve (if it's not already on the list)? I've been trying for a while now but it's still very inconsistent.

Hey #CoachDonny
This video was insanely helpful, but I was just wondering on how to practice the impact point of the ball and the bottom of your middle finger. When I hit it, it's usually like a spike, or it hits the bottom of my palm. The ball doesn't get much spin but I just can't hit it at the right point. Do you know anything that can help, or should I just keep practicing my serve until I can finally hit it correctly?
This helped a TON because I was having so much trouble with my serve. THANK YOUU
Love the video really helpful tips!!
Haikyuu brought me here
Yeah, i've heard team members talk about float serves but i haven't thought very much of it until Haikyuu!!. Now i want to learn.
INFINITEKpop1 same😂
INFINITEKpop1 I was in the middle of commenting that.
Ели Димитрова same I started playing it at school xD. I always float serve and fail xD
I'm just here.. Watching this video, wanting to be like Yamaguchi. 😂
PLEASE READ THIS thre is a very easy way on how to serve (even if you don't have any power in your hands😂) you just throw it low and than do 3 or 2 steps and than just use as much power as you can. i had a lot of problems before i figured that out.
Okay but i absolutely loved this explanation, i have an issue with how to place my right hand to hit, and i didn't know why, i would usually get told "just throw and hit hard and stop doing that with your arm" but this actually explained every single aspect
Thanks you coach donny ive been following your steps and i did a perfect serve
Hi Coach Donny, is there a way I can increase my hand strength, because I usually cant hit or overhand serve and I used to be able to an underhand serve but I can't seem to anymore. Thanks
you need to practice if you cant do it you should follow his tutorial that way you will have the most effective serve
It's not on the hand. It's on the shoulder and right leg. Strength comes from right leg pivot and shoulder with strong palm.
Hand strength isn’t it. It is your shoulder, core, and leg. Arm strength can help, but it isn’t nearly as helpful to work that out as your shoulder, core, and legs.
@@michaelg8841 What if my hand never ends up hitting the ball, but my wrist does. I have long hands so should the way I toss it change?
@@tangerines5822 you should have a toss that is a couple feet above your head. Once you have that down, work on your timing.
Me who's is currently wanting to get better at volleyball because of Haikyuu, but already played before watching it: 👁👄👁
sAme
I really need to improve my serve and this video was just perfect for me
Great job!
You make everything look so easy and the result, not so much. Thanks for your videos!
Hey! If I just want to serve overhand (not float serve), should I also contact the ball at the base of the middle finger ? Or at the heel of the palm ?
Today, I managed to serve overhand for the first time! For those who are wondering, I used the heel of my palm. I'm going to keep practicing until I can serve easily, and then, one day, I'll try to learn how to float serve with this video. Everyone, keep working hard :)
If you want to just serve overhand you would hit it with the heel of your palm
how many are here cause of the volleyball anime
You mean Haikyuu!!? If so, then me XD
Hehe I'll admit it too. I'm so hyped I want to play myself or watch my college team!
ikrr
HAIKYUU!!
Lol what?
OMG you're so good at serve what an inspiration
So good..very detailed technique. Thanks.
But my problem is, I wait too long to hit the ball and I have trouble finding out when the right time is, but that was probably because I threw the ball up too high.
Hey I desperately need some help. All of my years of volleyball I've been approaching the steps as a lefty when I'm a righty. Nobody has ever told me until I noticed it not too long ago. I've practiced the steps as a righty but I just can not apply it to when I'm hitting.
+ElevateYourselfNow yeah haven't tried it without a ball yet, just went straight into it. My goofy footwork just feels so right lol and I just can't overcome it. I'll keep working on it
You explained everything in 8 minutes what my trainer taught me in a year. I wish I had seen the video earlier. Well done. 👍😉
Thank you coach Donny for the excellent tutorial
