  • Question
    Can I train my juggling skills using fruit?
    Community Answer
    Of course! Oranges are perfect, but basically any round or semi-round fruit or vegetable works.
  • Question
    What if I drop the balls while juggling?
    Community Answer
    That is perfectly normal to do while learning, and will stop happening as you practice. Try to develop a consistent pattern so you know exactly when and where the balls are going to fall.
  • Question
    What can I use if I don't have juggling balls?
    Community Answer
    A normal ball like a tennis ball, basball or softball ball or even a foam or soft cricketball will be fine. If you don't want an actual ball you could try little beanbags.
  • Question
    Do I have to throw the balls above my head?
    Community Answer
    It would be easier to throw them at eye level, but after a while you will be able to throw them higher.
  • Question
    When I juggle, I throw the ball from my right hand to my left hand and then pass the ball in my left hand to my right hand in a circle formation. Is that juggling?
    Community Answer
    Technically no, because proper juggling looks more like an infinity sign. You are referring to "cartoon juggling."
  • Question
    What if there are no balls or anything the right size for me to juggle with?
    Community Answer
    Use beanbags or small scarves to start with. You could also use socks or pompoms.
  • Question
    What should I do if I keep catching the two balls at the same time instead of one after the other?
    Community Answer
    You should try to throw the balls in a pattern of "through, through, catch catch". So timing the throw is as important as catching the balls.
  • Question
    Can you give me some tips about how to juggle the ball under my leg?
    Community Answer
    When juggling under the leg, it is best to start out throwing slow paced and to use higher throws. With two balls, try throwing one ball normally, then throwing the second ball under the leg. You will eventually be able to do it consistently. Some tips: Maintain your form (don't go running all over the place); and you may bend your knee at first but it will get more consistent.
  • Question
    Can I start juggling with ping pong balls?
    Community Answer
    You can, but if you juggle with light weighted ball, it can go higher in the air than you wanted it to go and may be harder to catch because of its weight.
  • Question
    What part of my hand do I catch the ball with? With my fingertips or with my palms?
    Community Answer
    Preferably your palms, as it is easier. But you can catch with your fingertips also.
