team drills

Squad training exercises

Team drills are structured practice exercises where a group works together to rehearse specific skills, plays, or procedures.

Most common in sports—The coach ran team drills for an hour before scrimmage—but the term extends to any coordinated group training: emergency response teams, military units, or workplace groups practicing procedures until execution becomes automatic.
