[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She will need some strength to play volleyball, even though the amount of strength you use decreases as you develop proper technique. Unfortunately, there are not many shortcuts and most kids need to practice a lot. Here are a few drills that she can practice without a net.

Start close to a wall and ask her to count how many times she can set without dropping the ball. Try to improve that number every day. Eventually you can make it more difficult for her by increasing the distance and / or marking an area on the wall that she needs to hit every time. You can do a similar exercise to practice bumping. Hopefully she learned how to form a platform with her hands: she can start close to the wall and move back as her ball control improves. The pain due to the contact with the ball will increase as she moves back, but it becomes manageable with enough practice. Another important aspect is the serve - you can ask her to throw the ball at the wall and catch it as it comes back. As with the previous drills, keep increasing the distance to the wall. Finally ask her to hold a hula loop with two hands. Throw the ball somewhere close to where she is and ask her to move and make sure that the ball goes through the center of the hula loop. Ask her to imagine that the ball would bounce back from the hula hoop and predict where the ball would go. [/quote]

No, this will make her hate volleyball.  Don’t do any of this.  When my daughter was starting out, she got together with friends and they hit the ball around a lot for fun.  Some of them improved and continued and went to more advanced teams, some stayed in rec, others dropped the sport. [/quote]
