Things to help drop under the weight in the clean?

I am a high school girls weightlifting coach, and the main thing holding us back at this point is that our athletes are just simply not dropping under to catch the weight in time on the clean, or just being too hesitant about it. We have worked on getting them comfortable with the front squat, but it has been difficult. I was thinking of dive bomb, deep front squats and maybe using snatch balances. Any reccomendations would be great, thanks.
