Analysis
Stage: Intermediate
Characteristics: The student has moved beyond simply serving, and is working toward adding direction and placement to her serve.
What to Change: The only aspect that I would see that may need improvement is the posture prior to the serve. Knees appear to be locked out and she is not in a position to react to the return.
Cue: Something as simple as "Stance" or "ready" may be a helpful cue.
