I feel your pain. I could have written your post. Maybe a private coach would be good. I would think if it is important to you a trusted friend might help you practice by throwing a ball to you gently until you get better and less scared. I can play volleyball if I choose but I don't like to and I'm not any good but it is nice to participate even though I suck at it.
