Yes, but it gets a little higher at increasing levels. I've retired to only playing in the sand now, and with the smaller court and lighter ball, you get a lot more float. I live at 7,000 feet, and anything up from there makes it difficult because the ball takes off, you really have to contact it from the top. Every 1,000 feet increase in elevation over 5,000 feet and it becomes an issue, in my opinion. Going down to the beach at sea level, jumpserving is a blast. Was able to fire off points out in California, seems like the moisture and lower elevation and the ball comes down much better even with a good hard swing. Throw in a steady wind, and you've got a weapon again. The few times I played indoors in the last few years, jumpserving was pretty good because the court is larger and the ball is much smaller. Then, there's always the skippy jump floatie which works nicely (sometimes) in the higher reaches with thinner atmosphere. If you coach kids, though, you become a master of moving floaties anywhere you want, so that becomes pretty effective too, in my opinion. Anf anybody can jump, just takes more work for some than others, in my opinion
