Good stuff Loren! Lots of variety to spark some creative games. One thing I do is a "floor is lava" start. Players must be off the court or have a foot on any court boundary at serve contact. Passers need to cover more distance than usual so they're introduced to different movement patterns. They also typically learn pretty quickly to limit erratic movements at first contact
Hope these ideas not only prove useful, but also help spark some creative ideas of your own. Would love to hear what constraints you are finding most useful in your gym.
Thank you for your fantastic suggestions. I have been promoting EcoD as much as I can on Facebook, and I will also share this article! Coaches need to reconsider their approaches for the long-term benefits of the game and the skill development of players, which will help make our country more competitive on an international level.

Great list Loren! Thanks for taking the time to write it up. Going to share with all the coaches in our club!
