Big fan of the Switch one and its variations. I find progressing from ‘you must switch on the call’ to ‘you must before or on the call’ to be effective for learning effective switching with time to discuss between. Another one I like is a variation of ‘they’re them’ where you nominate the player who must score and even sometimes wait to call it mid way through a point, similar to an iso. Keen to play around more with areas of the zone that are higher scoring after reading this! Thank you 🧠

Enjoyed this, thanks. Definitely taking the 'must switch' one to training. In case you haven't come across it, there's a great book from Iain French, an Irish coach, with 30 more examples, plus a great skim across the research about coaching via games: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Games-Coaching-Ultimate-Frisbee-Gameplay-ebook/dp/B0C8P2XL4J

"either team can pick the disc up after a turnover" for re-wiring instincts in favor of fast breaks :)
