what to do?
when i played volleyball i had to keep telling the girls to stand on the balls of their feet, but they wouldn't. up to this day they are still slow on their feet, what else can we do for our team to make them quicker?

There are foot speed drills that you can have them do. Check out stacktv.com - on the volleyball training videos look for what the University of Florida Strength and Conditioning coach does in regards to foot speed and running drills. His name is Matt Delancey. Maybe you can get some ideas from there.

You actually want to be on your toes instead of the balls of your feet. My coach makes us do sprints to make us faster. Try jumping with both feet together up bleachers. It helps your calves which will help with your vertical and movement on your feet.
