Trying to run across

The teacher selects 2 taggers.
They have to stay within their box (within the 4 pilons) and tap the basketballs away from the runners if they want to cross.
So the runners have to dribble to the other side without losing their basketball.
If a runner doesn't have the basketball with him, he is finished and automatically becomes a tagger.
A tip you can give to the runners is that they shield the ball with their body.
This means keeping your body between the ball and the opponent.
The runners are not allowed to cross again until everyone has tapped or reached the other side.
In the end, as the game progresses, you get more and more taps and fewer runners.
The last remaining runner is the winner.
