We lost Thursday 22-25, 21-25 to a team. We played that team again on Sat at a tournament and beat them 25-15.
I've tried to up the intensity of the practice, and that's seemed to help. Have you tried pulling each girl aside and talking to them? What about team building games etc. Are the girls having problems with each other? Maybe these are some things to think about.

I have uped the intensity at practice, but I honestly do not think these girls know the meaning of intense or desire. I have talked to them individually, as a team, showen them film of the games, etc. Their work ethic stinks. Yesterday in class, one of them WALKED a 21 min. mile, and when I said something to her about it and how that was going against one of our goals (I am also her PE teacher), her response was "SO?". I am at my wits end. We have soo much talent, but when you play in spurts, it doesn't win matches or games. One of my starters asked if she HAD to start....I said no and asked why she didn't want to start, expecting that she would say she was sick or something....her reponse was that her BF was in the stands and that made her nervous!!!! UGHHHHHHHH!
