There are numerous stretches that can be helpful. You can ask her physical therapist or athletic trainer for proper instructions. You-tube has a number of videos on stretches for the hips which can be very helpful.
I would recommend that you should see a doctor to find out the cause of your hip pain since your are young. If you have a tendonitis, stretching and strengthening will help. If you have the hip femoroacetabular impingement or labral tear (cartilage tear in the hip joint) stretching will not help.
