Information

Con­ven­tion Cal­en­dar A really good over­view of jug­gling con­ven­tion dates – but still a work in pro­gress. You can sub­mit your con­ven­tion, though!

Vol­leyc­lub  is a club jug­gling game a little sim­il­ar to beach vol­ley­ball. This page explains all the rules in Ger­man but includes rules and tour­na­ment modes as Eng­lish lan­guage down­loads!

Fight Night Com­bat Three club com­bat is the jug­gling sport with only one simple rule: The last per­son jug­gling wins! Inven­ted by Bob Carr in 2004, Fight Night Com­bat is a one on one battle where jug­gling truly becomes not just a sport, but a spec­tat­or sport! Luke Bur­rage made Fight Night into today´s pro­fes­sion­al sport with a world rank list and it´s own web page.

Passing­WIKI Lots of passing pat­terns for 2 and more people. Mostly shown with dia­grams (no video).

Passing data­base A site by Jean-Bap­tiste Hur­teaux in Eng­lish or French lan­guage giv­ing advice on learn­ing to pass, pat­terns and feeds. There are also videos and anim­a­tions for many of the pat­terns.

Kaskade This used to be THE European Jug­gling magazine in print. Due to high print­ing costs and less demand, it was dis­con­tin­ued in 2014 but there´s still an archive of old issues. All art­icles are avail­able in Eng­lish and Ger­man. For Juli, this magazine was the entry tick­et to the world of being a jug­gler.

Wiki­pe­dia 'Siteswap' Intro­duct­ory read­ing on Siteswap as well as sev­er­al links to nice art­icles and sci­entif­ic papers

Siteswap dice A nice inven­tion by Guido van Hout, siteswap dice can be down­loaded and used to dis­cov­er new siteswap pat­terns for a vari­ety of skill levels.

Siteswap FAQ Allen Knutson´s site on Siteswap. There´s also a nice art­icle about him in 'Dis­cov­er'.

Indro­duc­tion to 'Scrambled' Takeout pat­terns and their nota­tion by War­ren Ham­mond and Aidan Burns

5 Per­son passing stars by Aidan Burns

Aidan´s jug­gling page Sadly, Aidan Burns passed away in 2014, but his leg­acy pat­terns and pat­tern col­lec­tions stay alive through the jug­gling com­munity and his page…

Jon­gli­ergeschichte His­tory of Jug­gling (unfor­tu­nately Ger­man lan­guage only). Still, you can vis­it Sonja´s exhib­i­tion at the next ejc or have a look at 4000 years old egyp­tian paint­ings of jug­gling women.

The EJA & the European Juggling Conventions

European Jug­gling Asso­ci­ation (EJA) This is the organ­isa­tion that sup­ports and pre-fin­ances the biggest jug­gling con­ven­tion in Europe every year and con­trib­utes to keep­ing jug­gling a free and non-com­mer­cial art. Every jug­gler at an EJC is part of the EJA by default, so you should know them, they are great! (But you won´t find excit­ing news on their page.)

39. EJC 2016 30.7.2016 – 7.8.2016 Almere, Neth­er­lands. They don´t have a webpage – but watch their movie with impres­sions from a great ejc!

Communities – online

The Jug­gling Edge gives an over­view of reg­u­lar jug­gling groups around the world as well as con­ven­tions and small talk. It´s com­pletely Eng­lish lan­guage and mostly used by Brit­ish jug­glers from what I read. Sign up is by invit­a­tion, only. If you want, Juli can invite you, oth­er­wise you´d have to con­vince The God Emper­or Orinoco – it´s not that hard!

Juggle­Junc­tion Sim­il­ar to the jug­gling edge, this page offers a data­base on jug­gling clubs and upcom­ing con­ven­tions world­wide. Addi­tion­ally, it offers a link to rec.juggling.

rec.juggling Prob­ably the most import­ant news for­um for jug­glers ever. This link leads you to the google group, so you don´t need any adaptor pro­gram to open.

JuggleWiki News, mostly about records and cham­pi­on­ships in Eng­lish.

Inter­na­tion­al Jug­glers´ Asso­ci­ation (IJA) The IJA is more an amer­ic­an than an inter­na­tion­al asso­ci­ation, but still, to be up-to-date you should read their eZine.

Jugglel­ounge A chat cli­ent for the web – if you abso­lutely MUST talk jug­gling from every­where.

Jug­gling on Red­dit And anoth­er online com­munity with chat a wiki and more links.
