Rules:
- Each team consists of 2 players at a time.

- Player 2 grabs player 1’s feet to move them.
- Each team starts with their scooter behind their own starting line.
- Once the game begins, each team has 1 minute to capture as many balls as possible from the center.

- At the end of one minute, each team’s balls are counted and then returned to the center.
