Answer
Good morning Vika:

Thank you for visiting www.allexperts.com.

Finding youth soccer & basketball is pretty easy.  But finding volleyball for an 11 year old is tougher.

First, have you contacted all the local recreation centers, the community centers and the YMCA's to see if they offer any clinics, camps, teams for 11 year olds.

Second, there is good news.......in the next year or two, your daughter will be able to find travel teams to play on!  One travel organization is the United States Volleyball Association.  They're the same people who select the Olympic teams!!  There are little clubs all across the country, in nearly every town and city.  Almost all programs have u14's, many have u13's and u12's.  How do you find them?  Go here:  http://www.geva.org

Third, another type of travel sports is AAU. I think everyone's heard of it.  There's not much AAU vball here in Virginia.  It's mostly USAV ball, that I mentioned in the previous paragraph.  But there may be more in your area of NY.  I just found this info for you:
