Variation #2 (7 min):  "Lax Dodgeball."  Start with all players in one zone, with the restraining-line as a boundary.  The coach also puts pylons along the middle as a centre line, dividing the floor width-wise, leaving two teams equally on both sides of the line.

Coaches leave multiple tennis balls along the centre-line and instruct all players to take their place, with one foot against the side-boards to start.

After the whistle is blown, any player who gets hit by a tennis ball must sit down, but are still able to fish for loose balls and participate, only able to stand up if they or their teammate catches a ball in the air.

The game ends when all players on one side of centre are sitting down.  Bounce shots are acceptable, but balls that bounce off the side-boards and hit a player do not count.

If playing this game in a gymnasium, if a player is able to throw the ball through the opponent's basketball hoop, all players who are sitting down are free to stand up.
