Much like a ball of rubber bands, you simply roll the tape around to make a ball. Of course, this is probably not as good as the real thing, but still serves its purpose. This is also great for the kids who can never seem to find their favourite [sports gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goal-concept).
