Do you have any drills for sitting volleyball?

My focus is on sitting volleyball and I either have to create my own drills or adapt standing drill which requires lots of trawling, research and innovation. If there are any other coaches who have developed sitting volleyball drills I should very much like to access them and I'm willing to share mine too.

My daughter is in 8th grade and has made the team this year as she did last. We have a new coach this year who doesn't allow the girls to use their knee pads. What is the purpose of this?   Does it help at all with development of the sport?  It seems sadistic to me and I can't understand how causing the girls pain will help them to "dig" a ball or encourage them to dive for anything. Thank you
