For the first drill get into groups of three, with one player across the net. Player 1 will be the one who hits the ball over the net right in front of player 2. Player 2 lets the ball bounce and go through his/her legs. Player 3 will retrieve the ball and toss it back to player 1. Repeat 5 times then switch positions, so each player can have a chance to practice each part. The main objective for this drill is to get good movement. Positioning yourself up for a good pass, by getting in your mid section but we are not hitting it yet. Just letting the ball bounce and follow through your legs. Player 1 will start with a ball as well as player 3. To keep the game in a continuous motion.

New hitters rarely miss because of their arm. They miss because of their feet. Build a reliable approach, then time it with your setter.
When your hitter gets stuffed, five teammates standing and watching is how you lose the point. Good attack coverage turns a blocked ball into a second swing.
Coaches spend hours correcting arms in serve receive when the real fault is almost always the feet. Fix the movement and the platform fixes itself.
