@@HosHenry I mean, we had a great player in india who used to do the first serve by jumping equal to the net hight. His name is Gimmy george who played for italy AND died there in a car accident. It was in the middle of 70s and 80s...
@@HosHenry I understood...but, in yout media, you have not shown Gimmy george to whom we cant keep aside when we talk about the legendary performances in the world of volly ball...
@A M this jump serve was made for the first time by a Brazilian called Jorge Mello Bittencourt still in the 60's, later it was perfected by the current coach of Brazil, Renan Dal Zoto, in 1979. Just look at the videos of the 1984 Olympic games to see that only Renan made this type of jump serve.
I like how the game got more aggressive with time, with players moving in split seconds for quick saves and passes. In the early years it seems volleyball was more like a laid back sports where not much energy was being used. This evolution video is pretty cool. Thanks for uploading 👏🏻👍🏻
Team captain from my high school team played it around 1988. He wasn’t very good though but refused to stop despite costing us several matches. I still hate that asshole.
It's important to remember that at certain periods in time, blocking the serve was completely legal. The high float serve was meant to take away the serve blocking.
Throw the ball higher so the point of impact is when your arm is fully extended, then just simulate how you spike with a little bit of force it will go over with some speed
@@АнтонНгуен-ч5п 1940's is called an Underhand serve, they teach you that when you start Middle School in P.E. They call it Underhand serve and they teach you it in the part of Canada where I live. I'm not sure what it's called in other places though
I love how it took them about 20 years just to be like: “Hey, you know our serves?“ “Yeah, what about em?” “What if we just….. hit the ball…” “Oh my god… Jerry, you’re a genius!”
It’s cool to see the progress of the entire play, too. You can see more efficient blocking techniques and stuff, better offenses being run. I love volleyball.
"The serve is the most effective weapon, unaffected by the block." -Keishin Ukai, Haikyuu At least i think it was Keishin, i don't remember correctly, all i know is it was one of the coaches that said this during one of the Aoba Johsai matches
i love how serves evolved from a way to start a game to a way to win another point and break some arms in the process of proving that you can hit balls to move faster than cars with one hit,
Evolution! The jump serve was used for the first time for the hall of fame, Brazilian Renan Dalzotto. He basically was the "inventor" and used it during his early stages of his career as player. When the national teams of Brazil and USA Played during an Olympics, at the first match, the Jump serve of Renan, Montanaro and Bernard got US by surprise. At the second game at the same competition, US leading by Karch Kirley avoided many shanks and beat Brazil.
I always serve underhand with my left hand with my left knee coming high up. So far I've been 100% on all my serves ( I play in a non-spiking league ). Great way to get the ball high up.
I remember watching a match between the Canadian and Russian national teams in the early 80s, when the rules permitted blocking the serve. Often, the three front row players were dedicated to blocking the serve. A spike serve would have had a low probability of success in such a scenario. I think the predominance of the spike serve is largely due to the rule change that prohibited serve blocking. The game also changed dramatically when the rules governing how the ball could be legally touched were greatly loosened.
Not every time usually the slow service that pass the net by like an inches are the worst because we all know that they fall at like 2 feet of the net but no one move so I have to slide the entire court to get it and destroyed my knee🙄😂
I don't know who was the guy who said "Do you think volleyball shorts are too short", but thank you. In terms of serves, they have been perfected over generations. They're the only time a person can be the star of the show and not have to worry about the wall known as the "block".
During my time in High School, my serve was similar to the one seen at minute 1:12, but totally from the back without leaning towards the ground, I arched my back to put strength on it and with my hand I scraped the ball to make an effect Screw/Claw, it was a very effective serve (the rivals did not know the route of the ball and with that effect they lacked control over the ball), so sometimes I did a most normal and soft serve to be able to enjoy the game (VolleyBall it's not about earning points just from service). :D
This is cool to watch I have been playing volleyball for 5 years now, and in April I got my first overhand server over, after trying my hardest for 2 years. I’m now working on my jump and float serve, having almost mastered my topspin serve.
@@si4801 I served underhand in a recreational setting for a long time. It's more effective than serving into the net over and over again when you're playing against people who are bad.
@@si4801 this is super late but I’ve played at the YMCA my whole life. For most of my career they didn’t even let us learn how to overhand, and until April I never had a competent coach who could really teach me what I needed. I was explained the basics and that’s all and I taught myself incorrectly. Now, for the past year I’ve been MVP and I’m becoming a coach for a younger team next year. So yeah, weird as it is, it’s true.
Very funny. How the game has develeped, it's quite different now from the initial game. I think the national teams from 1940s-1960s wouldn't have had any chance against contemporaty skilled non-professionals.
@@alexdrago4363 athletes nowadays are just freak of nature. Most of them are 6'3 guys with 40" vertical and the tosser (idk the term is, it's for the man in the middle front) are 7' guys. Even 80s wouldn't stand a chance against athletes in this era.
@@alexdrago4363 my high school volleyball team could destroy any 60s national top team, ok the fact is I'm from Brasil and my high school was really close to the best 90s volleyball team in Brasil, Bradesco club , so our high school team was actually 6"5 average hight, and everyone was at least u18 club players, with 2 guys over 6"10, and all starters went to play professional volleyball, actually some of them were already pros getting payed to play at 16 and 17 years old, plus 3 of them end up playing for Brasil national team for a while (none of them were actually starters but they did played), I still remember practice was brutal, the school was private but volleyball players got scholarships and the club sent a coach to help train the school team, we used to completely destroy any school, even the city finals were just a walk in the park, not rarely ending 15-0 every single set (back when games went to 15 and teams traded advantages every point), good times, but PE was hard as fuck because they used it as supplementary training for the athletes and the normal kids had to go along with it lol, my school even gave 0,5 points in all subjects for people that went to every single game to support the team lol.
Without the 1940s-1960s there will not be any contemporary non-skilled professionals, or even killer servers. They won't have any reference at all to even start developing.
The player who invented the jump serve is from Bulgaria. His name is Lubo Ganev and once he was sleepy at training and he unintentionally threw the ball too far away so he had to jump to serve and he said that it has never been that powerful.
@@JohnSmith-gu6hf not really tennis has become faster but the ball is larger and the courts slower.. the rise of Nadal is partley because of that. How many big servers has won grand slams the last 15 years?
Es hermoso ver como ha evolucionado no solo el servicio, sino todo en sí, las tecnicas, la manera de jugar, regkas, mesidas, uniformes etc. Que viva nuestro voley
I did not know that volleyball was invented just a few years after Naismith invented basketball my a friend of his that wanted something less violent that more students could play. Basketball was a bit of a brawl at first. Amazing that these two games are so young. I'd love to see the reactions of their inventors if they could watch top notch play today.
I can't believe it doesn't have any video of the Brazilian men's volleyball team. Mainly from the 2000s to 2012. Revolutionized the sport leaving faster, today everyone plays the same.
The Philippines created the “set” and “spike” in 1916 and six-a-side play was the standard two years later. By 1920, the rules mandating three hits per side and back-row attacks were instituted.
I know it wasn’t the purpose of the video but Zaytsev doing the “what the fuck” hand sign when he sees his serve’s speed gets me every time. Man so unbelievable he can’t even believe himself 😂
Oh man... Kawa would destroy them just with serves. Heck, also Sakusa or Ushiwaka! Between their great jump-serves and the nasty spins they put on the ball, they'd destroy any team from the 40s.
I learned VB in Vietnam, 50years ago. We had an aircraft cable with turnbuckles to tighten the net. Jungle rules. You could jump, pull yourself up on the cable, and go over the net. Some damage I took from that counted on my disability compensation. After Vietnam, I got talked into playing in a church gym. For a few months I fouled a lot. That was where I saw a small woman do the roundhouse serve. So I learned it. A couple times when I got serve, one of my team mates brought a folding chair on the court and just sat til I screwed up. I loved VB.
O Saque viagem ao fundo do mar ou, simplesmente, viagem, foi usado pela primeira vez, no Brasil, na década de 60. Porém, foi popularizado e usado oficialmente na década de 80 por Montanaro; Renan & Cia contra os USA nas olimpíadas de 84. Outro famoso, na época, e q não aparece aí, foi o saque jornada nas estrelas, criado pelo brasileiro Bernard, em que alcançava até 25 metros de altura. A estratégia era utilizar os refletores dos ginásios para confundir os adversários. Foi utilizado pela primeira vez no mundialito de 82. Hoje, o saque não se utiliza mais por ser considerado ultrapassado.
2:19 onwards ok but how could they just spike and it goes to more than halfway of the other court even when they're far away from their own court when mine can't even go over the net
If you go further back you can hit the ball harder and don't need as much topspin. As for your question probably just technique. Practice will probably remedy that
Zaystev, Leon, Leal, Simon, Nishida, Kuriak, Christenson, Juantorena, Wallace and Souza are just some few examples of one of the greatest servers in the 21st century
