I agree with a lot of your points.
My daughter is a high school volleyball player. The coaches decided to do strength training during the summer with the football strength and conditioning coach. So what does he do, have these girls max out on squats and cleans. 99% have never touched a weight much less learn these movements.. 2 weeks in my daughter comes home with a hurt back. 1 1/2 yrs later she is still dealing with SI joint problems.

Sorry to hear that bayouvette, all too common. There is no acclimation period with a lot of these coaches, they are usually short on time, want to get started, and need an idea of the athlete's ability, I get that. Rule #1 in any program is the kid's health and safety comes first. I like getting the kids in for a few weeks, acclimate them, prioritize form and techique (took me weeks with one group to get them squatting correctly) and I tend to favor a 3 rep max vs a 1 rep max for them as I feel it is a little safer at their age.

High school weight programs are terrible overall. The videos I see, even coming out of large programs, is not good. Sad thing is, those lifts are what your daughter should be doing. But technique needs to be trained over multiple sessions before you even start adding weight.
OP, if you want to start any type of weight training, find someone reputable in your area to train you child, or at least teach him the basics. Don’t jump into your garage and start training bad habits that could lead to injury
