I'm was a fan of the weaving drills, where you've got (if I recall) 3 people who are dribbling up the court, passing, moving to the persons spot while they move to the middle, etc, forming a running weave down the court. It emphasizes dribbling on the move, passing, moving without the ball and court vision. I'm not sure if that is age-appropriate or not, guess it depends on how well they dribble and run.
And, of course, lots of running lines. Interval wind sprints FTW!
