How is the number of juggles counted for each player?

Each player is responsible to count the number of juggles that they achieve through the honor system.  An adult which can include a parent or trainer must verify and report the number to the team representative each month. 

How do I count my juggles for the challenge?

U8-U10 players may count consecutive juggles using all body parts (feet, thighs, shoulders, chest and head) except hands.  U11-U14 players may count only juggles using their feet.  The player may use all body parts except hands during the juggling process, but may only count the juggles on their feet in the total. Only consecutive juggles may be counted.  As soon as the ball touches the ground or any other object, the process must be started over.

How will the numbers be collected?

Each team will appoint a representative to collect the juggling numbers before each due date during the season.  This person may be the trainer, parent administrator, or another appointed representative.  This person will report the information to the Master Juggling Challenge committee chairperson. 

How will the prizes be awarded?

The patches will be distributed to each team approximately 2 weeks after the information has been collected and compiled according to the levels listed on the Challenge flier.  The player names will then be added to the Master Juggling Challenge winners list on the website.  T-shirts and other prizes will also be distributed approximately 2 weeks after the data has been compiled.
