Analysis of the effectiveness of serves in women's volleyball

Serving in volleyball is of great importance, as it is not just a way to introduce the ball into the game, but also an effective mean of fighting for winning a point. The main value of the serve is that it can be used to achieve results with minimal effort for the team.Currently, the rules of the game of volleyball have changed, which has led to the formation of new ideas about the technique and tactics of the game, as well as the role and place of each of the elements that make it up. In addition, the reasonable need to divide volleyball into men’s and women’s should be taken into account.One of the most important issues of modern volleyball is related to the determination of priorities in the selection of serves, in order to achieve their maximum eciency in the game. While this issue has been partially resolved in men’s teams, the issue remains open in women’s volleyball, which stresses its relevance.The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of entering the ball into the game in modern women’s volleyball in real competitive activity.To collect the necessary information, well-known methods of pedagogical research have been used: pedagogical observations, analysis of reporting documents, survey, methods of statistical data processing, analysis and synthesis.The data describing the features of the modern game of volleyball and the place of serves in it as a significant element of it are obtained. Information indicating the priority of certain types of innings and their effectiveness in the actual game conditions is established.The results of the analysis of the obtained data indicate the priority of three types of serves in the domestic women’s volleyball, which are the most adequate and effective in the conditions of the formed trends in the development of domestic women’s volleyball.
