Session Overview
Coach Chijo demonstrates a step-by-step serving progression designed to fix the #1 mistake in youth serving—tossing the ball behind the head. He shows how tossing out in front immediately unlocks forward weight transfer, accuracy, and power.
Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles
- Toss the ball in front of your hitting shoulder so your momentum carries your body weight forward into the court.
- Have players practice tossing and letting the ball bounce to check that it lands a full step in front of their back foot.
- Keep the hitting elbow high and drive the heel of the hand straight through the ball toward the target.
Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:
"Toss in front, never behind""Transfer weight through contact""High elbow, firm palm"
Why Recommended for Coaches:
Practical, on-court progression for curing the habit of tossing behind the head and leaning backward on serves.
