How to increase practise intensity

Many coaches say that they "need to raise the level of intensity" in their practises. How do they do it? Here are some suggestions:

• keep score in drills, better yet have the players pay attention and keep the score - coach can ask the score at any time, if not known or agreed upon then there should be a consequence
• allow a mismatch or a player to exploit a weakness of another player - keeps the stronger player sharp and forces the weaker to make a decision to get better
• make sure the practise environment is competitive and not complacent - remind players that game roles are (in part) created and decided in workouts and practices
• practise competitions need to be as 'game-like' as possible, must be a time and score element so that players improve that skill set (based on stage of the game, need to actually work on knowing what to do and when)
• don't allow scrimmage for the sake of playing or shots for the sake of shooting - needs to be rewards and penalties in order to increase commitment and competition
• set the pace, demand the pace - coaches need to move teams quickly between drills (next one ready and waiting), players need to know 5 seconds wasted is 5 seconds that could have been spent on their improvement
• want active participation - if not actually in the drill then players standing in line could be doing lunges or skipping or foot speed work (just because they are not "in" does not mean they are "off")
