If anyone during the practice missed their block or did something wrong, they went and took a lap.

This is always a fine line at this age. Consequences for performance can lead to a fear of failure, which means kids end up thinking too much rather than doing. Consequences for choices makes the players know they're accountable. Running because someone showed up late to practice? Pretty clearly a consequence for choice (even if it was the parent's choice).
Is the second thing in the performance category? For instance, in basketball, I never make a kid run for missing a shot. It's going to happen. However, if a kid takes a 3 pointer, something I tend to let only the very best shooters do, there's going to be a problem there.
