@Xiggers - were you tossing with your injured arm - I was thinking that Alannah will probably have to learn to toss the ball up with her injured side and hit with her stronger side -

I played volleyball through jr. and sr. high school. I threw the ball up with my good arm and hit it over my head. When starting out, try under-hand serving first. It's easier to get. Timing and a steady throw is the hardest to figure out, but I was able to get really good control at the underhand serve. Overhand was a lot harder to master, but still do-able.
