Set up a V-shaped set of cones.
Players dribble at an angle into the V and then perform a forehand chip hit to lift the ball over the cones.
They then run around the cones to regain control of the ball and continue dribbling.
You could add a reaction element to this drill - as players approach the coach calls out either "Forehand" or "Reverse".
Players must react accordingly and perform the chip in the direction called (left or right).
