The International Jugglers' Association (IJA) is a great
volunteer-run juggling organization with a fun-filled juggling
festival every summer and an electronic magazine called eJuggle
(available at e.juggle.org) and various other online
resourses. If you're a juggler, I strongly suggest that you join the IJA. See Upcoming
Juggling Festivals below for info on the next IJA festival.

The Stanford Court Jugglers, an affiliate of the IJA, meets
Wednesday evenings at Stanford University. Our meeting location
sometimes changes, but we juggle Wednesdays from about 8pm till
about 10:30pm or 11:30pm.
We've been meeting at Stanford since 1980, but since our meeting
place occasionally changes, you may want to join our email list (see
below) to be notified of such changes and of other juggling events.
Or if you're a visitor to the group, it is recommended that you send
email (see below) to verify where we're meeting. Our current meeting
place is shown below.
Martin's youtube
channel has lots of SJRI club passing videos, which will give
you a sample of what we do at Stanford.
We meet year round at Stanford. Here are the current meeting
details:
