Define the task before counting catches
A catching drill can change every throw if nobody agrees on the feed. Choose the task with your coach: where the receiver starts, what type of throw is used, and what counts as a completed attempt. Use equipment and distances appropriate to the players. Clear descriptions are more useful than making the drill difficult just to make it look impressive.
Keep exceptions visible
A ball that never reached the agreed area is different from a ball that reached it and was dropped. Record that difference without blaming the thrower. You are checking whether the practice produced the opportunities you intended. If the feed changes, label the next set so the results do not look like one continuous test.
End with one useful observation
Ask whether the drill was easy to repeat and explain. A good note might identify a clearer starting marker or a need to slow down the instructions. It does not have to declare that someone became a better player in ten minutes. Practice records are useful when another person can understand what happened. A simple task with a clear description can teach you more about the session than a dramatic drill nobody can reproduce.
