We do certain volleyball training drills to help players learn various ways of landing safely to the floor after digging the ball.
Depending on the scenario we will use
In the volleyball training drills we do in my volleyball classes and private trainings we do alot of reps of these types of one-step linear (in front of you) and lateral (to your side on your left or right) extension volleyball sprawls so that lowering yourself quickly to the court floor while playing the ball becomes second nature.
Two coaches on one side of the net in Zone 3 and Zone 4, throwing balls with a slight arch to the 10 -12 foot line...
...players are in Zone 5, on the other side of the net coming from the left back corner, standing in a line and one at a time practice their three steps to the ball, lowering their body to the floor with each step, on the third step they are at their lowest point and extend to their side with arm fully extended with closed fist turned sideways so the top of the fist contacts the bottom of the ball.

Once contacting the ball finishing the momentum in a full body barrel roll over the shoulder of the arm that played the ball.
Volleyball Training Drills: Working on the volleyball dive, the sprawl and the barrel roll.
When the ball is falling on your right side working on:
After each group of diggers goes through several rounds (or we set a specific amount of time to do this in) we switch all the diggers to the right back corner so we can practice left-right-left.
When the ball is falling on your left side working on
Once players look comfortable hitting the floor using the 3 - step Barrel Roll approach going for balls then further pressurize by ...
Two coaches alternate tossing balls into the court, still on the opposite side of the net...basically alternating throwing to the corners of the court the digger is on...
Coach One starts by throwing over the diggers head to LB - digger turns and uses the three step barrel roll to get to the ball - once digger digs/hits the ground/ and turns around - Coach Two tosses close to the right front corner and the player chases and digs using this technique - continues for 4 - 6 balls, each thrown to opposite corners of the court.

I share alot of individual, partner and easy-to-do volleyball serving drills we do in class with my followers.
Many of these volleyball practice drills you can do at home by yourself or try at your next practice with your teammates.
If you're a B team or JV player trying to make varsity next year...your goal should be to complete 1000 reps a day of at least three of the basic skills on your own...volleyball passing, serving and setting should be at the top of the list.
