Description The paper depicts juggling as an alternative physical activity suitable for persons with special needs. Juggling comes under physical activities from the area of psychomotricity and therefore covers physical, psychical as well as social aspect of man. As juggling includes wide range of skills, levels, props or techniques, it may be adjusted according to specific needs of any person. In the paper we introduce our work with seniors, children with ADHD and persons with auditory, visual, physical as well as mental handicaps. Masaryk university (CZ) offers juggling as an optional form of physical education and many students of Special Pedagogy attend the course yearly. Therefore, we believe that juggling will become a part of offered suitable physical activities for persons with special needs and will be practically applied in various areas.
