In this video, Chris Lamb shares with you his systematic teaching progression for the float and jump serves. In Part 1: Float Serve Progressions, Lamb shares a 7-step progression and in Part 2: Jump Serve Progressions he shares a 6-step progression. Included in both are the body position set-up, toss positioning including tips for delivering a successful and controlled toss, body rotation, striking hand technique, ball contact, and proper follow-through techniques. Throughout each progression are special verbal cues and unique naming of each of the specific moves/techniques necessary to implement a successful serve. Lamb uses demonstrators ranging in age from 4th - 8th grade, showing you firsthand how these lead-up progressions can positively impact players of all ages, sizes, and ability levels.
