Anatomy of a Drill is Constraint Designer's Toolkit's introductory series to constraint-led practice design. If you're new, start here. Anatomy of a Drill is meant to provide the foundation for everything else CDTK will explore while providing a great starting point for coaches looking for practical tools they can implement now.

Anatomy of a Drill is split into 2 parts:

In Anatomy of a Drill Volume 1, we first explore the basics of constraints, including what a constraint is and why they're important, some of the most common types, and how these can be applied to any drill or small-sided game.

Anatomy of a Drill Volume 2 then looks at the basic structure of what makes up a drill or small-sided game and offers a general framework for thinking through practice activities.

Important topics explored:

• What is a constraint, why are they important, and how can coaches use them more effectively

• How to use constraints as the main driver of learning

• Some of the most common constraints and how to use them

• How to improve existing drills and small-sided games with constraints

• Why intent is so important, and how a good intent shapes everything

• How to design an intentional drill or small-sided game with constraints that's ready to use in your next practice
