Not sure if you're still investigating or not, but I've been a loyal Mizuno fan for over 15 years now. I've actually made a transition from vball shoes to running shoes, and just bought the Wave Rider 18 and wore them for a tournament yesterday (with Active Ankle T2 braces) and I have to say that they were amazingly comfortable. Tons of cushioning, great support, breathable, and off of Amazon, the style I wanted was only $65. Hope this can be helpful!
So many choices. Shoes are nice especially if she's still growing. Ankle braces are nice and not a lot of people have a pair. She likely has knee pads so won't need those any time soon. A ball is nice even if she has one. I'd go for the super touch, /u/Kace10 provided a link. They're cheaper on Amazon. If she ever plays beach, an outdoor ball is a good gift here or here. Lines are also a nice gift, a little pricier here. If she has more than say, 2 balls, a mesh bag is nice here. Or even a regular bag for shoes, ball, towel, etc., you can get those anywhere.
As a novice (read: getting back into) in the weightroom, basically anything you do will improve your fitness level.
You're likely going to want to invest time in learning mobility and maintenance drills. That book will also help you correct form faults in the Olympic and other bigger lifts. If you get any book in this post, get the one mentioned in this paragraph.
Clean and Snatch variations for explosive power. Squat and Deadlift are full-body workouts. You can't clean more than you deadlift, so think of squat and deadlift as your strength leaders while clean and snatch are your explosive exercises. Since you're just starting 3setsx5reps is a good place to start.
Get into yoga or Pilates on the ball to work your core muscles.
You're going to want to work your shoulders, so side/front raises, etc. Triceps/biceps (If you work one side, work the other at least for balance) are important so dips or tricep extensions are useful as are pullups/chinups. Pushups and/or bench press variations.
Don't do jump training (which are Plyometrics)[1][2][3] until you have a strength base in your squat of 1.5x-2x your bodyweight. This is partially because plyos don't build strength, they train the CNS for the stretch-shortening cycle and your "explosiveness", so to speak, is a percentage of your strength (a loose guide of maximum strength is how much weight you can safely squat). Learn how to use plyos before actually doing them. They are fairly low rep, full-recovery type exercises. Maybe 100 jumps in a training session (remember, this are meant to be trained more explosively than the 300+ jumps in a match and your CNS gets tired).
Essentially look at the movements you're performing and do the exercises that fit. The big lifts (cleans/snatches/squats/deadlifts) will teach you how to set your body when jumping. You need to twist your core to start your swing to hit a ball, you'll need to have a stable shoulder so that you can finish your swing up through your pec/tricep/forearm.
If you're interested in learning more about squatting, etc this book is as good a place to any to start, but the book mentioned in the first paragraph can get you started as well.
[1] Basic Plyos
[2] More Plyos
[3] Higher Level Plyos
Very concise. I was also going to suggest something like Starting Strength. However, I definitely would not recommend that someone jump right into the more complex lifts like Cleans or Snatch without having someone with experience around to watch your form.
Another great resource for the big lifts is Becoming a Supple Leopard by Kelly Starrett. It has excellent information on the proper form for the big lifts like squat, deadlift, clean and jerk, and snatch. It also has tons of information on mobility exercises to help with your weak areas.
Hey! I also live in Chicago and have an entire beach set up for this summer. I got my net from Amazon, but mines a little heavy duty and honestly is kind of a pain to set up (it has steel cables and I use ratchet straps), but once it’s set up it’s beautiful.
If you want a simple tie down net, I’d recommend the HD2 from here:
https://www.volleyballusa.com/volleyball-nets/beach-volleyball-nets/
Here’s the net that I bought. I love it because the top and bottom of the net get super tight with the ratchet straps, so the ball rolls off the net beautifully. But like I said it’s kind of a pain to set up because it’s heavy and the steel cables are longer than the width of the poles, so you have to wrap one end around a couple times.
Park & Sun Sports Regulation Size Indoor/Outdoor Professional Volleyball Net with Steel Cable Top and Bottom, Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009PVUR8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-iQmDb5YRQHK6
You can’t go wrong with either of those though.
Oh I have useful information for once! If you have a friend/partner to work with, get a resistance band and put it around your hips and give both handles to the person helping you out. Start out with a bit of resistance and have them try to hold you back while you do your approach, but make sure they follow you for a step or two so you dont land funny. My coach had us do that last year once a week for thirty or so reps and my vertical increased by four inches. Another thing that helps is if you get really light weights and strap them to your ankles, then jump rope for thirty minutes a day. My friend does this in off season and it keeps her vertical up and its still increasing, albeit slowly.
If you're looking for something for grass and portable, I bought a Park and Sun Classic net and it's pretty good. It's relatively easy to set up once you get the instructions right and hasn't seemed to sag at all. I use it mainly to practice spikes on so it gets banged on and holds up well. I will eventually start a meetup group for grass using it. I only wish it the bottom was more taught - you won't recover any balls that hit/roll off the net with this one.
I just bought [This one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0063NDCGW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and its legit. Pretty good so far and definitely worth the money.
I played on this net yesterday and it was actually really great. I have the Spectrum Classic by Park and Sun. Then net at Costco is Not as good as the Spectrum classic. (but it's also $190 cheaper).
If you want a quality net, and aren't going to be shelling out over $230 any time soon, I highly recommend this net. I can't believe it's only $70 after the discount. (It comes with a shitty ball, and you might want to go to Home Depot and buy a few flat head nails so you can hammer the net into the ground. Other than that I was very impressed by everything in the bag. Note: the poles are steel instead of aluminum, thus it is heavier the the Spectrum Classic
My area uses the Spalding KOB for the majority of the time, but definitely check with your area. If your community prefers the Wilson AVP ball, nobody will want to use the KOB even if you buy it.
Also, make sure you're getting the real balls, not replicas. The price point usually tells you which is which
Keep the ball you have for outdoors.
Everyone who I played with loves the HS game balls since they feel the best link
But those balls don't last at all. If you're looking for longevity, get a composite ball link No one really had a problem with these since teams practice with them all the time.
the international balls were never popular wherever I played
the college balls were okay too.
You know what bro, I am not 100% sure. The last tournament I played in I was told that that they will switch to the AVP one because things changed. I play BB or A so I don't care much. I will double check and let you know in the future.
For amazon, if you are talking about this, then yeah there is a different between the two balls (gold vs the yellow printing). I bought that same one and got the yellow printing. I think they both are just listed together because they have the same UPC?
We have this one by Park & Sun and live near the beach. It is very nice. In sand you need really good stakes, the little tent stakes don't hold in sand.
Within your price range, Park & Sun SPORT nets are the best IMO for quick, easy, and sturdy setup in grass (I think they have sand kits too). The nets are high quality and you can make them very tight so the ball plays well out of the net.
Slightly more expensive than your 100 dollar mark, but they've got other nets to chose from that are more entry level

If you have more to spend though the Park & Sun SPECTRUM nets can't be beat. I've got 2 of them
If he doesn’t already have one, a new ball would be great
Outdoor balls are normally a little bigger and lighter than indoor balls, as well as being a different texture and more rugged.
As for indoor recommendations, assuming you're in the US, either the NCAA molten balls, or the FIVB international ball
Make sure you get an authentic one. If you want to go a little cheaper, Molten has some regular leather ones, and so does Tachikara.
As for outdoor, you're going to be looking mostly at Wilson's AVP and Spalding's King of the Beach balls
You can play with whatever you want, but outdoor balls are made for the purpose and will both survive and play better in the sand and grass.
Get the Spalding King of the Beach or Wilson AVP ball.

Do not get a replica ball. They are terrible.

Is that any good?

They're ridiculous, but I kind of love them.
outdoor, i highly recommend a spalding king of the beach
Souther Cali beach players use the wilson AVP ball
Old school players use heavier Spalding kings of the beach
The Spalding KoB is better when it's windy because it's heavier but the Wilson is the current AVP ball.
There is a new version of the [Wilson AVP II] (https://www.amazon.com/Wilson-AVP-Official-Beach-Volleyball/dp/B01C5VR8SI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473780846&sr=8-3&keywords=wilson+sand+volleyball) ball but more expensive.
*edit: added the AVP II ball link
Make sure you get the Official KoB.. approximately 45USD, not the Replica KoB.. approximately 15USD.
I've found the official KoB for as low as 30USD if you bargain hunt long enough.
Out of the price range but you can't go wrong with this
I got this one do you think it'll be okay ? link
It’s currently $45 on amazon for Black Friday sales
I think what she meant is these:

Interesting. So are 2016 rio olympic balls for example the same size as the slightly larger international balls?
edit: I believe it's this ball, but I'm not sure what "size 5" means or if all "size 5" balls are exactly the same size: https://www.amazon.com/Mikasa-MVA200-2016-Olympic-Yellow/dp/B001F51TYK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485032149&sr=8-1&keywords=mikasa+rio+2016

Mizuno Wave Rider 18's
I suggest you buy one of these! Helped me a ton when I rolled/sprained my ankle.
Don't think so. Looks too shiny on the black portions and doesn't have the correct logo on the bottom portion.
For comparison.
