That's easy to do - place the wheels below the equator of the ball and this gives it backspin. You'll need a free rotating wheel or something similar on top of the ball to prevent it from shooting out at weird angles, though.

That will work if you have the wheels vertically instead of horizontally with the top one spinning slower.
