Wall-Floor Juggling

In this post we will look at another way of juggling. It’s a simple way to improve your rebound control and is the next step to wall juggling or floor juggling.

How to do it?
Kneel in front of a wall. We recommend that the wall is as flat as possible. Important: throws and catches should be executed with palms facing the floor. This simulates the catch after a rebound.

One Ball:

• Take one ball
• Thorw it to the wall
• Let it hit the floor
• Catch it
• Repeat until you have a good feeling for the throw

Two Balls

• Take one ball in each hand
• Throw the first ball with your stronger hand
• Throw the ball in your weaker hand when the first ball comes of the wall
• Let the first ball hit the floor and then catch it
• Let the second ball hit the floor and catch it with your stronger hand.
• Repeat vise versa

Repeat until you can do it ten times in a row.

Three Balls

• Hold two balls in your stronger hand and one in your weaker hand
• Throw the first ball (ball 1) with your stronger hand
• Let it bounce of the wall and throw the second ball (ball 2) with your weaker hand
• Catch ball 1 after it bounces of the floor
• When ball 2 comes of the wall, throw the third ball (ball 3) of your strong hand
• Catch ball 2 after it bounces of the floor with your stronger hand
• Catch ball 3 after it bounces of the floor with your weaker hand
• Repeat vise versa

Summary
The three-ball wall-floor juggling is not that easy, specially when it comes to gaining a flow. Something that helps is using tennis balls instead of floorballs, as they jump a bit better and give you more time. Rubber balls are not recommended, as they may jump too much of the wall and the floor. If feel like you need a challenge you can mix floorballs and tennisballs to increase the degree of difficulty. Also you can vary the distance to the wall to make it more difficult for yourself.
