How To Juggle

Miscellaneous

People spend lots of time learning to juggle, and some get it and some don't. You don't really need lots of hand eye co-ordination, just lots of practice. The key is to get the throwing right!



You want to start with three balls, and sort - say tennis balls or actually buy a set, though they can be a little expensive.



Then with your dominant hand, hold one ball, and two with the other. Hold your hands level out in front of you.



To start with, just throw one ball back and for from hand to hand. Then, throw up one from the hand with two balls in, and whilst its in the air, practice throwing the single ball in the other hand back across. Then stop, and repeat. The balls in the air should go up about a foot or so (not less as then you have less time and it is harder to be accurate).



Once you are happy with the above motion (which results still in one ball in your dominant hand, and two in the other) it's time to move on.



This time, just as you are about to catch the single ball from your dominant hand, throw up the second ball from that hand to the other, and stop. The result will be that you have two balls in your dominant hand this time, and one in the other. That's a juggle completed!



Once you have mastered, this, then all you have to do is repeat the process - as you are about to catch the third ball, throw the fourth back and so on and so on until you build up a juggle. There's really nothing to it, just a lot of practice!!! Once you get good, you might want to buy a book of juggles and get in some more practice. You can get great books from Amazon, such as that to the right!
