5 Club Endurance

Group Size: 2 to 40 players
Difficulty: schwer
Material: Five juggling clubs per player
Duration: approx. 3-15 minutes

Game Description¶

All players start five-club juggling together. The winner is the last player still maintaining the agreed pattern.

Setup¶

• Use a large open space with enough distance between jugglers.
• Agree whether any five-club pattern is allowed or only a cascade/fountain-style pattern.
• Position judges so drops are visible.

Rules¶

1. Players start five clubs on the signal.
2. A player remains active while five clubs are continuously in the agreed pattern.
3. A drop, collection, restart, or reduction of the number ends the attempt.
4. Eliminated players step back from the active area.
5. The longest remaining run wins.

Variations¶

• Use timed heats if many advanced jugglers enter.
• Require tricks or movement after a fixed time.
• Allow personal best attempts instead of elimination for workshops.

Safety Notes¶

Five-club runs need space. Keep spectators and eliminated players outside the landing area.
