One of the things I do with the limited practice time

1. Have the player all but one line up at half court near the sideline. The one player is waiting under the backet.

2. Each player in line has a ball. Have then do a right hand layup starting at half court. The goal is doing the layup with 3-5 dribbles only. THis teachs the to push the ball forward and lest dribbles the faster the player get to the basket (The younger the more dribbles they have shorter legs)

2. After the player makes the layup he waits under the basket for the next player. The first player waiting under the basket get rebound or out of the net the ball and starts down the side line of chairs. He weave in and out of the chairs making sure the is on the outside hand as he goes around the chairs. When gets to the far baseline he looks for coach at the free line or where ever and pass the ball to him and then cut to the basket and recieve a pass from the coach and does a layup.

3. After each goes 2-3 time through the circuit switch side and then go left hand layups.

This keep all players moving and doing dribbling, layups, and passing. It also is a good starting warmup and after 5 minutes they should be ready for a new drill.
