Starting
Two conventions are commonly used:
- Slow start
- Both jugglers begin with self-throws, as if they had just received an incoming pass. Thus for four-count, each juggler will make four self-throws and pass on the fifth.
- Fast start
- Both jugglers begin with a pass.
Slow start is generally preferred by beginners, but fast start is more popular amongst confirmed passers.

Famous quotes containing the word starting:
“The conviction that the best way to prepare children for a harsh, rapidly changing world is to introduce formal instruction at an early age is wrong. There is simply no evidence to support it, and considerable evidence against it. Starting children early academically has not worked in the past and is not working now.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“soon the birds and ancients
Will be starting to arrive, bereaving points
South.”
—Louise Glick (b. 1943)
“The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You’ve got to keep on working that talent. Someday I’ll reach for it and it won’t be there.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
