Question

Some friends have gotten together to play volleyball, and one of them has never played before. What can you do to help this person feel welcome?
Play through her mistakes during the game
Take quick timeouts as a group to explain game play
Have her chase the ball everywhere so she can score
Encourage her to watch from the sideline before playing

Answer 1

I would say to take quick timeouts, because then she could understand what to do during the game.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be to take quick timeouts as a group to explain game play.

This would be the best way to allow your friend to feel welcome. She would be included in the game and would be learning through playing and through the little explanations in the timeouts. She will also be getting to know everyone and making friends and not feel left out.
