[quote=Anonymous]My church youth group used to okay volleyball weekly and I was hopeless at all sports.  Finally, one mom told me to have the valve hole for inflating the ball pointing straight up when I serve. I don’t know if it actually does something to the aerodynamics (doubtful) or more likely some sort of placebo effect (although I initially thought it was nonsense), but after that I could usually manage to successfully accomplish a basic serve (ball resting in hand, hit with fist).

Unfortunately, there weren’t any other tricks to help me hit the ball or avoid it hitting me.  Nonetheless, just having one thing I could do helped me feel line I was participating as part of the team.

If she wants to get better, you can practice with her.  If she doesn’t want to do volleyball and you signed her up because you thought it would be good for her, let her quit.  Your embarrassment is irrelevant.  While physical activity is important, ball sports aren’t for everyone and neither are team sports.  She could be on a non-ball team like swimming or track. She could play a non-team ball sport like tennis.  Or she might prefer a solo-activity that doesn’t involve balls (swimming, cycling, skating, dancing, gymnastics, fencing, parkour, martial arts, rock climbing, etc.). You could even just go on family walks. [/quote]
