How to Get Started
GETTING YOUR BALLS (15 minutes)
Use what you have: Tennis balls, oranges, or buy juggling balls ($5-10 for set of 3)
Start with one type: All same size and weight works best
Practice space: Room to move, high ceiling, soft surface (carpet) for drops
Watch tutorial: YouTube 'How to Juggle' - visual learning helps
LEARNING THE BASICS (30-45 minutes)
One ball: Throw from one hand to other, arc motion, catch at same height
Two balls: One in each hand, throw one, when it peaks throw the other
Practice the pattern: Right-left-right-left rhythm, get comfortable
Don't rush: Master each step before moving to next
THREE BALL JUGGLING (30-45 minutes)
Start position: Two balls in one hand, one in other (dominant hand has two)
The throw: Throw from hand with two, when it peaks, throw from other hand
Keep the pattern: Continuous cascade, balls never collide
Practice daily: Even 10 minutes daily, muscle memory takes time
