OVERHEAD SERVE RECEPTION-SETTING




Players may set a served ball instead of passing it but this is a difficult skill. There are three main keys to the overhead serve reception:

1. Keep your hands smaller than the ball. In other words, keep your hands close together. A served ball is coming fast and keeping your hands close together prevents the ball from going right between them.

2. Keep fingers and wrists stiff.

3. Quick release. Do not hold on to the ball. A quick release allows the speed of the serve to be redirected into your pass and creates for a more effective serve return.
