Buddy Gladiators

Short Description

A paired gladiators game where two players keep one shared juggling pattern alive.

Group Size: 3 to 60 players
Difficulty: mittel
Material: Three balls per pair
Duration: approx. 5-15 minutes

Game Description

Pairs play gladiators while sharing one juggling pattern, usually a shared cascade. Partners stay physically connected, often with one arm around the other person, and try to keep their shared pattern alive while other pairs attack.

Variations

Use soft balls before trying clubs. Keep body contact rules very clear.

Safety Notes

Keep the playing area clear and define the limits before the round starts. For contact games, target props rather than bodies. For throwing, riding, balancing or acrobatic games, leave enough space for failed attempts and stop the round if the group starts taking unsafe risks.
