Player stands on attack line facing the net with right foot in front if right-handed, and left foot in front if left-handed. They toss the ball high, move their other foot forward, setting up serve position.
Have the player start by serving the ball with a high trajectory and then lower it as the drill goes on.
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.
