Club closings, gym rules, history |
| Visitors: |
NYC Parks & Rec. policy is that visitors are welcome but may not engage in Center activities, including juggling. If you would like to juggle when you visit, please email your request before 10pm the Wednesday night before you wish to attend. Visitors are expected to follow all gym rules (bring a lock!). This is a privilege for out-of-town visitors who would not be able to take advantage of membership. If you are a local juggler, you may visit once to check out the club before committing to membership, and then you will be expected to join. You'll want to anyway. It's worth it.

Notes:
- All clubs open to the public, all levels welcome
- Clubs are not classes or formal groups, rather places for people who share a common interest to get together and practice.
- Most people are happy to teach newcomers how to juggle, explain tricks, and give pointers, but then you'll be expected to go work on them yourself.
- There are no communal props at any of these clubs. Many people are willing when asked to lend visitors any props they're not using.
- Don't count on using other people's stuff too long. Soon you'll need to buy your own equipment.
- Finally, many jugglers ignore each other (and you) while practicing. We're not mean; we're busy. Feel free to introduce yourself. We often go out to dinner after the Thursday meeting, and all jugglers are invited.
That said, hope to see you there.
