Basic Fielding Drills
I remember watching the South African team go through a rather ancient yet effective drill before the start of a Champions trophy game at the BNS in Dhaka about a decade ago. Line up, run in fast towards a highly tensile net, throw the ball at it with all your might, run away and let the guy behind you catch it, running in as well.

I had seen local clubs and school teams go through the same drill, but they usually had a coaching staff at the other end as opposed to a net, which meant the power in the rebound wasn't as great and the direction predictable thanks to the movements of the coordinator.

I'm sure many clubs around the world use this technique to enhance agility and reflex.
