4 clubs, 3 clubs, 100 minutes

2 times 50 minutes while there were circus classes for kids (age 8-14).

Warm up, failed the scissor catch that I always end one of my warm up routines with. Tried to do just the end of the pattern but failed the scissor catch many times. Maybe I should practice that more than once per practice session?

4 clubs:

Fountain, doubles. Not very good today.
53 once and back to fountain, took way too many attempts to get it.
534534 and back to fountain. Since 53 was difficult today I decided to do just 5 attempts from each hand. Got it on the 4th attempt, from both hands.

53 with the 3 as a backcross didn't work today.

Kick-up from 3c cascade to 4c fountain, got it on the 4th attempt (and it was a good one) so I decided I could try to get one more. I think it took me less than 10 more attempts to get it one more time, though it was not as clean as the first successful one. Making progress!

3 clubs:

Backcrosses, every third throw
Backcross double, every 5th throw. Tried every 3rd throw or 2 consecutive double backcrosses but that didn't work.

423
45123 with the 1 behind my back and active 2

The club knocking thing. The kids thought it was cool.

Siteswap 5 as doubles:

52512, tried to do active 2s but that didn't work.
50505 (starting with all 3 clubs in my right hand). Best rounds: 8 (+1) catches of 10 throws.

525, still not many catches, but the dropped clubs were often a lot closer to me than last time I tried it so that is some progress! (Some throws overspun, some collisions.)

I feel like I'd need more long practice sessions to have time to both learn new tricks and keep practising my old ones.

Total practice time: 100 minutes

Location: Kvisthamraskolan (Cirkus Mani)
