Few sports have the defense initiate play. And volleyball isn't the same as baseball as the server can score.
Melrose often uses 'designated servers' with a specific role, such as Leah Fowke last year.
What is the 'risk-benefit' of attack serving? Accurate attacks don't always mean hard serves or risky serves.
Brooke Bell scored with "rotten grapefruit" (short float) serves sometimes. Have you tried to return a rotten grapefruit?
Alyssa DiRaffaele had a combination topspin/sidespin serve that proved nightmarish for opponents.
The 2012 state title team got mileage from hard, low serves from Cassidy Barbaro.
Elena Soukos, like Fowke, was another player with impactful hard serves in more recent seasons.
Some coaches want to capitalize on hard serves and others prefer higher percentage float serves. What nobody wants is a high percentage of service errors.
Listen as well as watch to know when you hit the center of the ball.
