Hi Ahmad,

I think the best way is to get someone to block to you are a reasonably fast pace.  It will mean trying to find someone that can block consistently as well.

Get them to block anywhere.  Start at a slow pace and get them to increase the speed as you get more comfortable.

Focus on watching the ball carefully.  This will give you the best opportunity to see where the ball is coming as early as possible.
