What You'll Learn

Module 1: Welcome & Overview

Learn how to neutralise one of the most common and disruptive serves in volleyball: the float serve. In this module, Luke breaks down what makes elite float serve reception so effective — from body positioning and platform control to decision-making under pressure. You’ll gain insight into how top receivers stay calm, read servers early, and turn defence into a weapon. Expect technical cues, in-game analysis, and practical drills that help you take control of first contact and frustrate even the best servers.
