Granted, this part of the game is very different from boys to girls. However, I teach my girls to not worry about getting a shot blocked, because:
half the time it will be a foul;
and half of the times it isn't a foul, it will go out of bounds;
and half of the times it doesn't go out, we will get the loose ball.
So 7 out of 8 block attempts (very simplistically) by the defense turn out not to hurt us. For the same reason, we try not to "block" a lot of shots, but to challenge shots and stay in good rebounding position.
My point is that shot-blocking is overrated.
