發球是排球運動六大基本技術之一，屬於閉鎖性的動作，也是積極、主動的技術，不受其他技術、隊友彼此間的干擾，也不受對隊選手的影響，是得分的重要技術之一，目的：本文之目的在於了解短發球的功用性，提供教學與訓練者參考。方法：本研究採文獻蒐集法進行研究與資料發析。結果：結果使用高弧度發球能應用在對方中間手站在2、4 號位時有效牽制，相對於平飛球球速較快，較有機會逮到對方的空檔，特別在於對方接發球站位比較深遠的球隊，而中庸深度的發球則有機會造成1、5 號位主接球員搶接以致造成接發破壞。結論：事實上，在比賽過程中，球隊進入拉鋸戰時，教練可能都考慮過使用短發球策略，因此，在重要時刻教練都必須做出決策，使球隊拉到領先地位，如果短發球的使用在前面四局都有成效，那麼不必要害怕使用這策略，相同的它在第五局應該還是有效的發球策略。
