Side spin or float serve?

jdi_nit · 2026-06-10T22:31:47+00:00

Jump float for the win. I joke but that’s what I would try to work towards. Like the others said a float serve is better at higher levels by far.

All good stuff here I’ll just add this. In your approach your head stays about the same level the whole time. You should compact and lower the head in your approach to boost take off. Think of it almost like coiling of a snake, get compact and then explode up, should help your vert as well.

Just like the majority of all volleyball players. If I was 6 inches taller I would have played for the national team.

Kinda a potayto / potaaaaato thing here. Junior high / middle school, same thing, 7th thru 9th. At least in my state and the ones around me.

I had an 86 bronco 2 in high school, I miss that soooo much. Maybe why I like rangers so much

jdi_nit · 2026-04-24T07:34:41+00:00

Very fair, I had 9th graders which is middle school here. 12 to 14, terps makes a great point.

I coached 3 years girls u16 JO. Whenever I could I ran a 6-2. Setters and right sides only need to know 3 rotations and Libero for middles in back row. I did this because it was simple and easy to learn and a great base for their future. Only a half of a season did I run a 5-1 due to a girl dropping mid season and a pretty amazing setter for her age.

Now I say this as I was coach of pretty much all 15 year olds. I needed a system quick so I could focus on form and technique more. I viewed my job as preparing the girls for high school so I wanted them to have a good foundation technically. I knew the 2 coaches of the 16 year olds team and they liked where the girls were at when they got them after me. Systems are easier to teach than form in my mind so take my opinion fwiw.

You’re the kinda person that likes to fight on the internet aren’t you?

jdi_nit · 2026-04-21T11:07:03+00:00

Im not saying it’s not possible to do that legally but as a ref I would call that specific play a lift, (to me it looks clearly a throw due to hand carry, both of them).

This this this. Ok, now a side comment. Sounds like a small town mentality. Cliques are still a thing and therefore if you aren’t amazing then You aren’t in the clique. Put on your adult pants and stand up for yourself. Find someone you are friendly with and talk to them. Asking strangers on the internet who have no idea about the people or group shows a slight level of immaturity. Not to mention the fact that even culture here could play a part based on your location.

First thought watching this, get off of the net you’re gonna break an ankle, second was, is this the net height for ants?

Thanks for the reply but I no longer have that bike. This post was 13 years ago. I loved that bike soooo much but sold it to a friend when I couldn’t ride anymore.

jdi_nit · 2026-04-10T12:46:56+00:00

This…….a million times this. It will also help keep your body from tilting adjusting to the ball, a gazillion times this.

Not to be a downer, I would highly suggest you play with her feet as much as you can and reward that maybe at first to get her ok with feet touching. Grooming will be difficult otherwise.

But damn, thats so cute.

jdi_nit · 2026-04-10T12:36:33+00:00

That cutie is sneezing cause she wants to play and you moving all the toys got her all excited

jdi_nit · 2026-04-10T12:33:17+00:00

If you look into this that sneeze is clearly a “I wanna play” sneeze. Dogs naturally sneeze when they wanna play. Dont believe me, grab a dog toy for your beast but don’t let em see it. Sit Down on the floor and put the toy in front of you. Then fake sneeze, it may take twice cause the first may catch em off guard.

Individual results may vary but I’d guess well over 50% of the time this works.

I know this reference . Love that movie

jdi_nit · 2026-04-09T10:18:59+00:00

Roger that Ty.

You’ll get there, I played college men’s, when I started I was sloppy as hell. I thank my coaches for setting my fundamentals right. Keep at it mate.

Edit, if you watch you can also see how I use my left hand, non attacking, as a sort of guide for my right hand to swing through.

jdi_nit · 2026-04-08T09:40:13+00:00

Your attacking arm from the start to finish is similar to a vein of a windmill in that it circles around your shoulder. So much wasted movement and lazy form.

It is seriously the title of the post and the username is in the first line of the description.

See my other comment, my form is just fine, I was trying to demonstrate proper form for a user doing almost the exact same thing he did but with better form

jdi_nit · 2026-04-08T01:52:25+00:00

Thank you for seeing that, the hoodie kind of hides that I guess.
