Scooper
Scooper is a sport where Elementals may only participate in their feral form. They have metal scoop-like objects strapped to their head, and there are a few different versions to the game.

Set-Up
The field is set up like a football field, but is about double the length (720 feet). There are two teams, and the ball starts at the half-way point. Elementals wear colored shirts to mark them as teammates, brightly colored with a pattern to avoid confusion (sometimes there would be a bright green jersey on one team and a plant Elemental on the other, that could cause confusion and the game would be unfair) and helmets with the scoop attached. The game isn't really a contact sport, but it certainly can become one if they butt heads while trying to catch the ball.

Play
The main objective of the game is to get the ball from the middle of the field to their end of the field. It may go either way, but in the end, the ball has to be on either end of the field for anyone to score a point/win the game. Elementals aren't allowed to use their paws and instead must scoop the ball up and either throw it to another teammate or keep running and get the ball to their end of the field. They're allowed to bump each other with their bodies to knock the ball out of their scoop, but head-butting (on purpose, such as a t-shape) in prohibited and will absolutely result in a penalty.

Physical Requirements
Physical Requirements on a Scooper team are strong legs and neck, a lithe body, and good stamina. Smaller Elementals, Belluriums especially, tend to love this sport because they're fairly quick, good at strategizing, and it's really not uncommon for them to slide under larger Elementals to catch the ball because they tend to not turn too well. This, though, could result in broken bones from being stepped on, so it isn't encouraged.

Common Injuries
Leg injuries are common in Scooper, usually from tripping or being rammed in the shoulders and falling. Head injuries are rare, believe it or not, but neck injuries aren't so.
