One coach, one player. Coach starts on approximately 10' line, player on approximately endline. Coach throws a ball somewhere. Could be on the court or not on the court, doesn't matter. Player needs to touch 15 balls. Touch is the keyword, not necessarily a good up. Balls can be thrown literally anywhere (touchable or untouchable) but if the player does not give appropriate effort (ie diving), the count resets at zero. Sounds simple but seriously sucks if you are a player because you end up chasing down about 30-50 balls.

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.
