“Become a Threat from the Service Line” with Indiana University Head Coach Steve Aird
Watch Indiana University Women’s Volleyball Head Coach Steve Aird explain how to “Become a Threat from the Service Line.” Coach Aird shares how to make serving strategy a program identity, covering the value of serving order, aggressive cross-court serving, and using high-risk serving tactics to pressure favored opponents and dictate match conditions.
Steve Aird has transformed Indiana into a Big Ten contender, leading the Hoosiers to the winningest four-year stretch in program history (77 wins from 2022-25), a school-record 25-win season in 2025, an NCAA Regional Semifinal appearance, multiple top-15 recruiting classes, and the development of numerous All-Big Ten, All-American, and professional players.
Be sure to also tune next week as we dive further into the mental side of serving.
