    🎯 Notes for Players

    • Do the routine 2 to 5 times this week, but not on practice or game days.
    • If you are playing other sports, aim for the lower end of the range.
    • Track your bounce juggling total each session and try to beat your score.
    • Start each skill move slow and controlled, then add speed as you improve.
