Training Wheels for
Juggling
With younger students, we use colorful 100% nylon
scarves made specifically for learning juggling skills. Each
student will have plenty of time to clearly see the juggling
pattern as the light scarves slowly float down after each
toss.

Older students
may also start with juggling scarves or begin with
non-bounce balls depending on their previous experiences
with learning to juggle. Those students who already know how
to juggle 3 round objects will be taken aside and taught
additional variations.

For Middle / Jr. High / High
Schools
"Hands-On" Juggling Skills Workshop
- Multiple day workshop classes are very popular
with the teenage crowd. During your regular PE
periods, our trained instructors will lead each
class in a step-by-step progression toward the
goal of keeping 3 objects moving in the basic
recognized juggling pattern. After demonstrating
each step, the instructor(s) will move around the
room providing each student with individualized
attention. Of course, your PE teachers will be
there to assist as well.

- We play exciting upbeat music
in the background when the students are practicing.
Kids love to groove to the beat as they learn.
