Set up a square. All the players have to try to defend their own ball inside the square, while two jokers try to get as many balls as they can inside their hoop. As soon as a joker wins a ball, they run to the jokers' hoop, put it in and go back into the square. When a player loses their ball, they can get a new one from the pile outside the square and go back into the square.
Rotate the jokers within the group, each couple (or single joker when group is small) gets 2/3 minutes to try to put as many balls in their hoop as possible.
While dribbling around players should look up and be aware of the other players around them, so that they do not bump into each other.
