A Volleyball Jump Serve is an overhead serve where the ball is tossed in the air first; the player then times their approach and jumps to make contact with the ball, hitting it with a fast pace and topspin. The extra motion generated during the serve allows the server to put additional power on the ball, making the serve difficult to handle for the receiving team. A drawback to the serve is that the extra motion utilized can lead to a higher incidence of serving errors. A Jump Serve is the most popular serve among college and professional teams.
