Our Tips for Learning the 3 Ball Cascade

• Yes, you do have to learn 1 ball, then 2 balls, then 3 balls. Everyone learns at a different pace, but concentrate on getting each move down before moving on.
• Personally, it took me a few hours to get just the 2 balls down solid. And solid is important — don’t try rushing, you’ll learn faster but will also end up with bad form and looking sloppy. I was doing 3 balls with 6-12 catches after a day, and had the pattern looking decent and solid after a week.
• Take breaks. It’s ok to learn a little at a time.
• If possible, start out with beanbags, Russian balls, or other balls that won’t bounce / roll away on you.
