Passing (juggling)

"This is the basic part of team juggling and it requires two pretty smooth jugglers.

Passing technique varies depending on the prop being used and the position of the jugglers.

This standard pattern can be described as the props travelling in a rectangle or box shape.

A passing pattern is a sequence of throws and catches using a certain number of props which is repeated continuously.

The rules generally require that two-count passing be used, and that the number of successful catches be four times the number of props, in order for a passing attempt to be successful.
