Frequently Asked Questions Can My Child Sign up for More Than One Session? Yes, and You Only Need to Buy the Circus Kit Once My Nose Turns Red Youth Circus is offering five one-week circus camps online! One-week sessions are from 9 am – 11:30 am. Your student will learn how to diabolo (Chinese yo-yo), spin a plate, balance, hula hoop and juggle. Circus games and other physical fun activities will be included. Circus classes builds your child’s perseverance, confidence and creativity. Each skill helps your child develop the hand-eye coordination and balance. Online circus camps will physically engage your child and plus give them the circus tools to practice on their own. Fee: $100/week for 2.5-hour session Circus Kit: $60 includes juggling balls, scarves, hula hoop, diabolo and spinning plate Ages 7-12 Frequently Asked Questions Can my child sign up for more than one session? Yes, and you only need to buy the circus kit once. How much space does my child need? We recommend at least a 10’x10’x10’ space. Will we other equipment at home? Be prepared for a scavenger hunt! A yoga ball and mat or carpeted space. Will I need to support them? No, no tumbling or gymnastics. We cannot offer unicycle, wheel or aerials online. Is this a good beginner/intermediate camp? Yes, no experience necessary. What are the device requirements? Cell phone, tablet or laptop with a camera and a microphone that can stay on for three hours at a time. We ask that we will be able to see and hear the students at all times. Can we register if we are not local? Yes! Great way to take circus camps if you live far away! .

  • The Effects of Balance Training on Balance Ability in Handball Players
    EXERCISE AND QUALITY OF LIFE Research article Volume 4, No. 2, 2012, 15-22 UDC 796.322-051:796.012.266 THE EFFECTS OF BALANCE TRAINING ON BALANCE ABILITY IN HANDBALL PLAYERS Asimenia Gioftsidou , Paraskevi Malliou, Polina Sofokleous, George Pafis, Anastasia Beneka, and George Godolias Department of Physical Education and Sports Science, Democritus University of Thrace, Komotini, Greece Abstract The purpose of the present study was to investigate, the effectiveness of a balance training program in male professional handball players. Thirty professional handball players were randomly divided into experimental and control group. The experimental group (N=15), additional to the training program, followed an intervention balance program for 12 weeks. All subjects performed a static balance test (deviations from the horizontal plane). The results revealed that the 12-week balance training program improved (p<0.01) all balance performance indicators in the experimental group. Thus, a balance training program can increase balance ability of handball players, and could used as a prevent tool for lower limbs muscular skeletal injuries. Keywords: handball players, proprioception, balance training Introduction Handball is one of the most popular European team sports along with soccer, basketball and volleyball (Petersen et al., 2005). The sport medicine literature reports team sports participants, such as handball, soccer, hockey, or basketball players, reported an increased risk of traumatic events, especially to their lower extremity joints (Hawkins, and Fuller, 1999; Meeuwisse et al., 2003; Wedderkopp et al 1997; 1999). Injuries often occur in noncontact situations (Hawkins, and Fuller, 1999; Hertel et al., 2006) resulting in substantial and long-term functional impairments (Zech et al., 2009).

  • THE BENEFITS of LEARNING to JUGGLE for CHILDREN Written by Dave Finnigan
    THE BENEFITS OF LEARNING TO JUGGLE FOR CHILDREN Written by Dave Finnigan Fitness, Motor Skills, Rhythm, Balance, Coordination Benefits . Students can start acquiring pre-juggling skills in pre-school and kindergarten by learning to toss and catch one big, colorful, slow-moving nylon scarf. Once tossing and catching becomes routine, you can use one nylon scarf anywhere that you would normally use a ball or beanbag for most games and many individual challenges. Just think of the scarf as a "ball with training wheels." Scarf juggling and scarf play progresses in a step-by-step manner from one, to two, and on to three. Scarf play and scarf juggling requires big, flowing movements. Children get a great cardio-vascular and pulmonary work-out when they juggle scarves, exercising the big muscles close to the head and close to the heart. They will find scarf juggling to be a great deal of work and lots of fun at the same time. Once they move on to beanbags or other faster moving equipment, they get exercise not only from tossing, but from bending over to pick up errant objects as well. Once a student can juggle continuously, they can "workout" with heavy or bulky objects such as heavyweight beanbags, basketballs, or other items which provide strenuous exercise while they improve focus and dexterity. Because all of this tossing and catching activity can be done to music, you can use different types of music to help children acquire a sense of rhythm and a natural "beat." By working together, students can participate in a group activity requiring concentration and attention to task and reinforcing rhythm.

  • HISTORY and STAGE METHOD of JUGGLING with HULA HOOPS Oleksandra Sobolieva Kyiv Municipal Academy of Circus and Variety Arts, Kiev, Ukraine
    INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS IN MODERN SCIENCE № 2(11), 2017 UDC 792 (792.7) HISTORY AND STAGE METHOD OF JUGGLING WITH HULA HOOPS Oleksandra Sobolieva Kyiv Municipal Academy of Circus and Variety Arts, Kiev, Ukraine Research the methods of teaching juggling tricks by the big and small hula hoops, due to rising demand for hula hoops in recent years. Hula hoops acquire much popularity both abroad and in Ukraine, and are used not only in school, gymnastics and emotional pleasure, but also in a circus and juggling sports. Also highlights the main directions in the juggling with their features and how the juggling acts itself directly on human health. Also will be examined where this fascinating art form came to us, how it developed, and what kinds acquired in the present. Keywords: hula hoops, juggling, "track", stage technique, white substance, "helicopter". Problem definition and analysis of researches. Today juggling reached incredible development. There is no country where people would not be interested in juggling. There are a lot of conventions and juggling competitions, where people come from all over the world and share experiences with each other. But it should be noted, that there aren’t so much professional juggling schools. And if we talk about juggling by hula hoops, we can admit that there aren’t so much real experts in this field. Peter Bon, Tony Buzan in collaboration with Michael J. Gelb, Luke Burridge, Alexander Kiss, Paul Koshel and many others have written about all kinds of juggling, but left unattended hula hoops juggling. That is why in this article will be examples of author’s tricks with large and small hula hoops with a detailed description.
