Middle / Jr. High / High School Programs

Assembly Program

With a wireless microphone headset and upbeat music playing in the background, the instructor(s) will teach the basic patterns of juggling in a carefully designed step-by-step progression using scarves and/or non-bounce balls. Those students who already know how to juggle will be taken aside and taught more advanced variations.

During the 3 days of instructions, messages of goal setting, encouragement, and persistence will be echoed throughout each workshop class.

 

Perhaps your PE teachers may already be teaching juggling to their students. That's great! And that is even more reason to schedule our program. It is like having a professional baseball player coming in to work with the youth baseball team. The kids are excited to meet him, the professional will take them to the next level, and they will get to watch an expert demonstrate his abilities – in this case – really cool juggling tricks.

 

You can schedule 3 consecutive days for us to come to your school

or you can schedule us to come every other day.

 

Here is an example of every other day.

Monday – We give a short demonstration and then start the first teaching session during each gym class period.

Tuesday – Your PE teachers continue the process. We will loan them the teaching materials for this session.

Wednesday – We return for another day to begin teaching them new variations.

Thursday – PE teachers lead the juggling sessions with their classes.

Friday – We return once again for one more day of instructions.

 

In this way, your PE teachers can schedule a whole week of juggling lessons and your students will have had extra time to learn this new skill that they will remember for a lifetime.

 

Two Full Days of Workshops Classes

One of our juggling instructors will conduct "hands-on" juggling workshop sessions during each PE class period throughout a two day time period.

 

Some people have asked, "Why don't we only offer a one day workshop?"

The reason is simple. We feel that one class period is not enough time to effectively teach the step-by-step juggling progression. More practice time is need as well as the time for the instructor(s) to personally help each student.

 

Juggling supplies will be made available for purchase to all interested students. For a list of these items and how your school can earn a rebate from these purchases, click here - Juggling Supplies.

 

Assembly & Juggling Workshop Combination

Start off the first day with Mike Vondruska's PASSPORT to Everyday Adventures assembly program. The 2 or 3 day juggling workshops in your PE classes can begin that same day or start the following day.
