I also like the SkyBall when my opponents are looking into the sun.

Haikyuu fans: ah i guess you’re referring to the “ceiling serve”

I was always wanted to learn how to do sky ball! 😀

The name of this serve in Portuguese (this serve was invented in Brazil) is Jornada nas Estrelas (Star Trek). The name of the jump serve, also invented in Brazil, is Viagem ao fundo do mar (Voyage to the bottom of the sea). Both are much more fun in the original language.

As a intermediate player, I use this technique, not to the sky but low, and IT WORKS! I can get it to land really short of even long with LOTS of spin to fool most players...not the great players, but enough to screw up others timing.😊 I do it with an open hand and pull over the top of the ball.

Any tips to help out your wrist when serving a sky ball? I've been practicing but my wrists always become really sore.

Every time I did this it always got my opponents mad so they started wearing sunglasses and it never worked after that

When we played 4s in ft laud avo, you had the most nasty skyballs, but my favorite miss was when you hit the top of the giant ball float

Somehow this is like the only tutorial on YouTube for a sky ball. Was looking for one before the Rumble lol. Great play out there btw

I’ll try this in warmups I think of serving as a pitcher in baseball. I want as many serves in my arsenal as possible 😁

Probably the best tutorial on how to Skyball

I've been working on my skyball serve anytime i can, I play both indoor and beach volleyball, but somthing funny happened at an indoor tournament, we finished our most recent game, and our next game wasn't in like 2 hours,(It was a gym with only 3 courts, but it was really tall, and there was 12 teams in the tournament) so our coach let us set up a extra net we brought with us at an out court(The school suprisingly had an outdoor court), And we were doing 4 vs 4(We had 9 players in total including our libero) One of our outside hitters didn't wanna play so its was the rest of the team that played, and when it was my turn to serve, another team ended up coming outside, and they saw me skyball serve, and i guess they thought it was a good idea to skyball serve INDOORS because when we went against them, 3 people on their team skyball served and every serve hit the ceiling(They served it like a normal underhand server, Holding the ball, Taking a step and hitting the ball out of their hands, but as hard as they could)

I used it on grass at SF Marina Greens where it is windy and it is really effective.

I heard Carambula actually NOT allowing pro players receive his Skyball at training sessions... Like, you have to officially compete against me to try receive it. )

Good stuff guys!

Nice video man also early

I love serving spinning skyballs, it's funny to see them getting upset about it! Lol My fav serve tho is kicking spin skyballs! LOL

So Ive noticed a bunch of high level players doing this and I just thought they were screwing around. Turns out I was wrong 😆

Float Skyball version 3 is done from a distance, 4-5 meters behind the court. Contact is made with the backside of streched hand and then you just aim for the middle of the court. Nothing makes your apponents more pissed off than missing a couple of skyballs. 😂
