WJF School Program

The World Juggling Federation is launching the WJF National School District Championships for the 2006/2007 school year. This will be in conjunction with schools participating in the WJF school program. Upon setting up a juggling program in your school, the WJF will provide skill charts for the students to learn the "Scales" of juggling.

After assembling your school team, your school will then compete against other schools in your city to determine the citywide team champion. Upon winning the citywide championships, your team will then move on to the State Championships. The winning team from the State Championships will then advance to the National School District Championships held at the 2007 World Juggling Federation Convention in the summer of '07. The WJF will provide trophies for 1st - 3rd place for the National School District Championships.

Improvements in concentration, eye-hand coordination, fine motor skills, reading, and behavior are just some of the benefits of juggling cited by educators. In fact, several teachers said that juggling increases students' ability to concentrate, enhances their eye-hand coordination, and builds self-confidence.

Mastering the skill increases the amount of grey matter in areas of the brain that process and store visual information, proving what was not thought possible -- that new stimuli can alter the brain's structure.
