Working with short players...

Just wondered if anyone has any tips for working with short players (they can't get their hands over the net) - especially when the opposition is attacking. I am used to playing in a men's team with at least two blockers, but now coaching the girls U17 team and it dawned on me that they can't reach over the net...My middle hitter is usually tall enough, but none of the others on the front line are.

when opponent is attacking tell them to jump one step from the net and they should try to do passive block.
