Larry,
I consider volleyball the toughest sport to shoot. Of course I've never done gymnastics or rhythmic dance or tennis as my work is mostly confined to small school team sports with the occasional rodeo and what not thrown in. And yes the light invariably is lousy.
First, some great facial expressions. The girls always get weird when they see pix of themselves in action
#1 has a lot of potential but I agree with Jay in suggesting a radical crop, maybe trying to cut down to just the upper 2/3s of her body and ignoring the other players. Expression on #2 is great, but then the ball hasn't cooperated. A tighter crop on #4 might save it, but the foreground players make it hard. Five has the best chance, but again like Jay I see the ball movement as a negative. I found myself wondering if #7 got called for breaking the plane. I find that I can't go below about 1/800 in VB. Many times 1/640 works, but if the ball has real movement it will blur. That forces me to wide aperture primes which introduces its own set of problems, mostly very narrow DOF. At least you got a nice clean background on these pix. Generally there are teams, benches, officials, the crowd, etc., cluttering things up.
