One of Westhampton Beaches former students is currently playing volleyball at SUNY Geneseo and she is a freshman. Her name is Meagan Johnson and she was a 4 year varsity volleyball player for Westhampton. Meagan will be taking a look at your serving clips and she will be giving you some tips in the next few days.

Extra Credit:

5 points: Critique in writing your video serves and make proper corrections on site.

Hi everyone, please take a look at your serve and write about some corrections that you can make. I have left a youtube link for a girl from college demonstrating the proper technique of the overhand serve. Take a look at that and compare it to your serve and let me know what your thoughts are. Please finish your post with your name so I can differentiate each posting. Thanks Mr. Parry
