Hi Trisha,
Court awareness generally comes from repetition and experience. One thing that I have found helps is consistency, try and set up the same each time and have set shots and passes that you use.
The more they practice these it will become autonomous and more attention (awareness) can be directed externally (court). For example, making it easier to react better to certain opponents styles.
Here is a fun drill to develop team cohesion and external awareness.
Hope this helps!
Two on two passing using two balls

Using two balls the two pairs play against each other at the same time. A point is scored if any ball touches the ground. Each player may touch the ball once and must pass it over the net. No spikes allowed.
