Drills
Practice work organised the way a coach picks it: by skill, by age, and by the space you were given.
Nothing in this section is written, and unlike Offense and Defense there is no measurement behind it: the citation corpus contains zero drills questions, so the structure below is judgment rather than evidence. Baselining it costs about $0.70 and should happen before any of it gets built.

Diagram the drill, not just the play
Alignments, spacing and route work all draw the same way.
