One good way to practice volleyball is just passing it to yourself a hundred times just trying to keep the ball up in the air to develop good ball control. Find a wall so you can practice passing straight on and with either side facing the wall.
If you have a court near you, draw a square in the middle of the court that goes about seven feet in from each side and five feet off the net. Toss the volleyball up to yourself and then pass it to that box. This helps you get better at aiming and controlling the ball.
When you're serving, aim for a smaller spot in the middle of the court so that your serve stays in bounds. Another good target is 3 feet inside the line. That way, it gives you a target rather than trying to just get the ball over the net. For your serves, aim high, hit the ball up into the sky, and let gravity bring it down on the other side. A lot of times if you try to hit the ball straight, you'll hit it too short and it'll go into the net.

heyyy girly so a good way to start practicing serving (I've done volleyball for 3 years) is going to like parks or beaches and trying to get ur serve over the net or just buy a net and use it in your backyard for passing you could hit the ball 3 high passes and 3 low passes like on 1 knee you could also practice off a wall so serving the ball on the wall then passe it or pepper with somebody also clubs are a great way to start but they are pretty expensive or the y if u have one around u you could also practice there but you could also look up tut on YouTube,TikTok,Pinterest or even lemon8 but that is the best advice I do have I wish u the best luck have an amazing day or rest of your week!!
