[quote=Anonymous]If she wants to stick with it, there is really no way to develop skills than to practice.  And practice a lot more outside of whatever she's doing with the team.  There are YouTube videos that break down the serve, set, spike etc. that are incredibly helpful.

if she doesn't want to stick with it, but would still like to play a sport, I can relate.  My DD tapped out of volleyball in 9th grade because her skill level wasn't there and she didn't like the sport enough to improve.  She isn't a kid who likes sports that have a "you're on!" aspect, or anything where you're face-to-face with an opponent, fighting for control of an object.  If yours is similar but you'd still like her to try something athletic, maybe cross-country?  If she's a waterbaby, sailing or rowing [lots of running involved there] or even outrigger?  I know it's not available everywhere [it does exist in the DC area though] but we've found the outrigger community to be the most positive  and supporting of any sport my kids have tried.

Third option -- don't do a sport outside of school PE. Not everybody has that interest, and she'll turn out fine.[/quote]
