Diving practice on beach - Set out 2 cones. Get player to stand in the middle of the two cones and call the way your going to throw (left or right). throw the ball to that side just enough for the athlete to get a touch on the ball. To make it harder throw the next ball earlier so athlete has to get back on his or her feet quicker.

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.
