These help a lot. My college team does a training session on a grass field and has practicies wheel touching , picking up waterbottles off the ground while moving, bike sumo (2 people drag race to a set of narrow cones while bumping), taking legwarmers off while riding, and traveling up the middle of a narrow double paceline.
