These
instructions will teach you exercises so you can juggle 3
balls. The first few exercises are not complete juggling
patterns, but are exercises that will teach you to juggle.
One
Ball Exercise
Start with one ball. Throw the ball in an arc from hand to
hand about eye level. The pattern will be an arc, not a
circle.
Two
Ball Exercise
Start with one ball in each hand. First toss the ball in your
right hand '1' in the arc to about eye level to your left
hand. When this ball '1' reaches the highest point in it's arc
. . .
 
Throw ball '2' in an arc from your left hand to your right.
Catch '1' in your left hand, Then catch '2' in your right
hand. Stop.
 
Do this same exercise, except start with your left hand
instead of your right. Practice until you can do this
smoothly.
Common mistakes include throwing two balls in a circle, or
throwing both balls at the same time.
Juggling
3 Balls
Start with 2 balls in one hand '1' & '3' (in this case the
right hand, but if you are a lefty, use your left hand) and
one ball '2' in the other. Start by throwing the ball in the
front of your right hand in an arc to your left hand.
When ball '1' reaches its highest point, throw the ball in
your left hand '2' in an arc to your right hand. Catch '1' in
your left hand. This is like the two ball exercise. When the
ball thrown to your right hand reaches its height . . .
Throw the ball from your right hand '3' in an arc to your left
hand. Catch '2' in your right hand. This move can be
difficult. It is often helpful to roll the ball '3' in your
right hand to the front of your hand with a slight downward
motion of the hand before you throw it.
 
When that ball '3' reaches its highest point, throw the ball
in your left hand '1' in an arc to your right hand. Catch '3'
in your left hand. And so on . . .
