[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure I’ll have the most helpful comments since 90% of what I read on these volleyball threads is totally Greek to me.  My daughter has been playing for a year or so on what is considered a “lesser” team by the people on these threads.  She started in MS so I think that’s somewhat late.
One thing we found really helpful was just hiring a nice HS girl from the local HS varsity team go train with her for an hour a week.  I think she gets more out of it than some of the group clinics (which she’s also been gojng to) plus the girl is so sweet and encouraging to her.  I think a lot of HS kids enjoy doing this for the extra cash and also for the good feels they get encouraging a younger kid.  
She also watches a lot of the college vball and I think that helps her be smarter about the play.

The other part of your question is more a parenting question about how to support a kid that is struggling in an activity.  This is probably an opportunity for her to develop some resilience.  I guess one question is whether the other girls are being supportive or mean to her.  And ask her how she would feel if her team needed to forfeit a game or tournament because she quit and some of their other players got sick.  I don’t think the team could fill the spot at this point if she quit so she’d be leaving them a girl down for the whole season.[/quote]
