Hi, what drills are best for ensuring players keep their knees bent?

Knees bent is an important concept when moving with the ball (see below) in trapping and in passing. I assume you mean in possession?
I try and explain to players their are three speed zones on the pitch. 30mph for crowded congested areas. 50mph when running through space and finally the "chuck and run" 70mph zone.
It is in the crowded area that bent knees are especially important as they help afford better posture and vision. This makes for better decision making.

30 MPH Zone
DESCRIPTION
Purpose To retain control in the grid, avoiding bumping into others whilst continuously looking up Explain to the players that the area is crowded, there is a great deal of traffic and to avoid crashing you have to drive slowly â hence the 30mph zone. Scanning Tell the players to "see the ball through the bottom of the eyes and the action through the top" There are lots of variations to this drill including some fun games - all emphasize good posture and awareness.
