| Learning to juggle way back lasts century, I learned to juggle using lacrosse balls. Very bouncy and and a little on the heavy side. Standing over a bed helps if you are using bouncy things (they still can cause havoc in a bedroom when they bounce off each other though). One of the IJA (International Jugglers' Association) videos that most impressed me is :
IJA Tricks of the Month by Zaila Avant-garde | Juggling Basketballs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH2E1m8Fseg). Not only does she manage the juggling but her parents let her do it indoors with all sorts of stuff around. |

That way, you get the similar visual effect to a more expensive acrylic, but without the risk of chipping if you drop it while you’re still learning. |

| If you do use tennis balls, stand in front of your couch so they land there and don't roll away. |

| This. Something like a hacky sack also works very well. They don’t roll away from you, and they won’t drive your neighbors nuts especially if someone lives below you when they hit the ground. |

| Part of the motivation is to make sure you catch them and they don’t bounce away. Negative externalities aren’t always a bad thing. |
