Boys Elite
Club
Grades 6-12. Limit: 25 boys.
Tuesdays 2:45-6:00 pm
This club
for advanced and expert boys represents the crowning achievement for many
kids who've worked hard to achieve all the standards. Lively snack discussions,
higher skills, years-long friendships and rousing games of club combat
define this weekly staple for more than two dozen male (pre-) teens. See
listing below of all the standards required for entrance into this club.
Boys EliteClub runs every Tuesday from 2:45 - 6pm when Edina school is in session.
How can my child join a JUGHEADS club or camp? Contact Paul (jugheads@comcast.net or 952.926.0896) or if your child has the director's approval, you can register online.
Technical Juggling Standards (updated Fall 2007):
- 100 dominant hand throws (DHT) with 4 balls
- 5 tricks with 4 balls
- 50 with 7 ball passing
- 20 with 8 ball passing
- 50 with 5 balls
- 30 DHT with 4 rings
- 30 with 7 ring passing
- 10 tricks with 3 clubs
- 100 with 6 club passing
- 5 tricks with 6 club passing
- 10 with 7 club passing
- 10 DHT with 4 clubs
- 10 seconds with club balance (chin, nose, forehead)
- Mastery of at least two auxiliary props
- Qualify 5 rings
Commitment Standards:
- Commitment to juggle outside of club time, whether at home, camp, or elsewhere.
- Achievement of a new endurance record each and every month of the school year.
- Join the International Jugglers' Association (IJA) at www.juggle.org for $23/year. [www.juggle.org]
NOTE: If a standard is not met, the Jughead must at least achieve 50% of that standard. As a "make-up," the Jughead must double two other standards or quadruple one other standard. For example, if only 5 DHT with 4 clubs has been achieved, the Jughead could make up for this shortfall by getting 20 with 7 club passing and getting 60 with 4 rings -OR-getting 200 with 5 balls (quadrupling the Elite standard of 50 catches). Even with this "make-up," however, the Jughead is subject to being passed over for membership in favor of other Jugheads who have met every standard.
