Answer 3

Get her to a coaching clinic quick.  You can't just read a book and understand how to play.  Have her contact a local college team and go watch some practices.

Answer 4

I would recommend going to yahoo or google to search for whatever you need, but one that I found that I think would be helpful would be: www.volleyball.com/drill.aspx   Good luck.

Youth Volleyball: The Guide for Coaches, Parents and Athletes

by Sharkie Zartman

This practical book offers everything you need to understand both boys and girls volleyball, whether you are a coach, parent, athlete or fan. Author Sharkie Zartman, a former national team member, guides you through the ins and outs of the ultimate team sport, covering new serving rules, the rally scoring system, the libero position, the fundamentals, and more.

They are all available from the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), which in itself is a fantastic resource.  I've been a member since 2002 and have learned a lot.  I attend the annual convention, which is in December and coincides with the women's NCAA Division I Final Four, whenever possible.  (Omaha this year -- oh joy, Nebraska in December.  But I'm going.)

(edited to add:) I agree with the answer below about watching another coach in action.  I learned a lot from a local junior college coach when I first started out by attending their practices.  As time went on, I was happy to help new coaches in my area -- even those who were coaching my opposition -- just to make the game better.   Find a mentor you can bounce ideas off.
