What is Altinha?: The game of Altinha is simple. Stand in a circle, keep the ball off the ground using any body part except hands/arms, and keep touches to a minimum. Tricks are encouraged, but not required. It’s all about having fun.
I used to love juggling as a kid. I enjoyed keeping the ball up more than playing matches. Little did I know there were people in other parts of the world who loved it as much as I did. SMH…
Who are ”You”?: • 20+ years old • are NOT a jerk at your core • Soccer enthusiast • Love juggling.. or want to love juggling • Seeking a fun way to exercise without even thinking about it • Casual, chill, inclusive, collaboratively spirited; minded 🤙
What you’ll need: Feel free to bring a ball. I will have at least two already. And don’t over think anything else. If you wanna be bear foot, cool. If you wanna wear running shoes, cool. Cleats, cool too. Just be comfortable. I’ll likely be wearing barefoot flats and obviously weather appropriate clothes. And don’t forget to bring some water with you.
Experience level: I’m rusty, but I can still land a few tricks! Your experience level doesn’t matter as long as you are interested in improving your touches on the ball by having fun. I want this to be open to those with silky touches as well as those who could use a little guidance, and everything in between.
Other info: If there is a large group we can split up and shift partners around as we go so that everyone gets a chance to meet/ play with everyone else.
I’ve never tried to organize anything like this so bear with me! I’m a huge introvert who’s rekindled an old passion in juggling. But I can’t find any groups that focus on juggling. All the groups I see are about pick-up matches. So this is pretty much an experiment— seeing if anyone else would enjoy a weekend game of casual Altinha! So don’t RSVP unless you’re committed to showing up. 🤙⚽️
