It is best to stretch before and after a workout for about 5-10 minutes. Some good stretches to stretch the entire body are: Quadriceps stretch (holding onto your leg behind you while standing), hamstring stretch (bending over and trying to touch your toes), chest stretch (hands clasped behind your back), shoulder stretch (crossing one arm over your chest and holding it with the other), and the side stretch (arms above your head and leaning to your sides).

What are some good stretches before jumping on the serve?
There is really no straight answer about names of stretches. I found the best stretches to before serving no matter if it is jumping or just using your arms and weight. The best thing is to stretch out your shoulders, arms, back and your legs. BUT THE ARMS AND SHOULDERS I FOUND OUT TO BE MOST IMPORTANT when stretching for serving. For actual stretching names and descriptions I would just go and search for shoulders and arm stretches. Squats and Lunges are good for the legs at the beginning of warming up.
