I would interpret it the other way - e may only (leave the Grid or move to
other units on the Grid) in a manner prescribed by the rules.

Otherwise, players on the grid are incapable of taking action entirely, as
the only actions they are permitted to take are (leave the Grid) and (move
to other units on the Grid in a manner prescribed by the rules). So if your
interpretation stands, your actions still cannot happen since you cannot
join Team Turquoise or catch the ball, as you're restricted to movement or
leaving.

Well done.
