Hi

I am a rugby coach in the Uk, (but also into computers)  I thought it 
would be an nice idea to have a program that could help me draw diagrams 
of drills for my coaching sessions,  but I have very little programming 
knowledge,  then I remembered dia and thought that it would probably be 
more worth while getting some help with new elements for this or just 
suggesting some,  and perhaps help the program branch out into another area.

For rugby I need elements to represent
cones
ball
player with ball
player without ball
path of ball (passing)
tackle bag (the storage element from flowchart works here)
tackle shield
corner flag pole (used in fitness)
hurdles,  essentially a oblong box, (fitness)
ladder which would be lots of boxes together (used in fitness)
the three fitness elements can also be used part of drills to add an 
extra level of challenge to a drill.

if any one on the list is involved with coaching (or knows any coaches) 
perhaps they may have some more ideas,

I would think that a line would be a good way to represent a player 
moving with a ball,  a broken line could represent a player running 
without a ball and a different broken line represents the path of ball 
being passed,

I therefore decided to join the list so I could possibly get help with 
this idea / concept.

Thanks

Paul
