Basically have three to four parents including the coach be favorite locations for the players. Players will dribble around to the diffenent locations getting the ball to the feet of the parent (location). Parent will pick up the ball and toss it back out and tell the player to go another location. Its like playing fetch. Parents at first will stay in same location (don't move to their ball). If the dribbling is progressing the start having the parents move to another locations temporarily.
Locations should be periodically called out so the players can remember where they are going.
