Coaching multiple players

I typically coach groups of 6 or 8 on 1 court. All the drills I can see on the site seem to be about individual coaching. Does anyone know good drills for multiple players ?

Have a game which the coach can feed at the back and have a line of players on the other side at the base line and you do a variety of shots building up to the smash and then get the player to come round and pick up balls
