JUGGLING TEACHING POINTS - TASK PROGRESSION

For partner reciprocal teaching

Type of activity	Teaching points or Critical features
1. One hand arc throw object to eye level height to land in other hand. Do with both hands and remain stationary.	· Start with object in dominant hand. · Throw using whole arm in an even egg beater action. · Swing throwing arm to mid-line of body then release. · Watch for object tracing an even arc to eye level height above receiving hand. · Repeat after catch.
2. Two objects throw and catch. Toss one then the other up and under the first. Catch both objects remaining stationary.	· Toss first object eye level height, as it is above receiving hand send other object eye level height up and under the first one to above receiving hand. Do with a swing action · Count 1….2 as toss objects. · Develop a smooth rhythm to your throwing action. · Practice non-dominant hand if arc pattern uneven.
3. Repeat task in 2 but do six tosses successfully.	· Focus on even swing with arms in towards mid-line of body. · Action is like an egg-beater. · Count as release "1….2....1….2….1….etc." · Aim to point eye-level above receiving hand.
4. Using three objects from basic start position toss two objects adding the third then catching all three objects. Remain stationary as juggle.	· Basic start position is two objects in dominant hand, spare object in other hand. · Initial juggle two objects counting "1….2….3" but fake throwing the third object. Move hand as if throwing. · Throw all three objects but don't catch. Listen to rhythm as objects hit floor---it should be even · Try tossing and catching as many as you can · Review previous points as practice catching all three objects.
5. Using three objects from basic start position toss and catch three objects to a smooth rhythm in three of more complete cycles, without moving.	· Usually the third object is held too long. Concenetrate on an even rhythm, height and accuracy of toss. · Avoid tossing with the wrists. Swing arms.
6. Add tricks to juggle. Change height. Try over action toss. Try circle action juggle.	Research teaching points and bring to class.
