hi Brian
let me know how you go with this. I coach Soccer and have hunted hi and 
low for an application that would allow me to develop plays and drills. 
I have found nothing that would make this easy for me...yet.
I spoke with some developers of inkscape(linux coreldraw, also available 
for windows) to see if we could make a script of text that would then 
render it graphicaly. While they seemed interested unless I can drum up 
lots of users its hard to motivate them. they indicated it shouldnt be 
that hard. It would of course animate the progression of the play/drill 
as well as produce a graphic with textual description.
