We're working to translate the IJC website into a variety of languages - it's a resource for the global Jugger community, and we believe that the languages available here should reflect that!
If you'd like to help us translate this website into a language you're fluent in, contact us on Discord or via email:

We want to know where jugger is played, how it is played, and what they need from us to grow.
We want to gather experts and volunteers from around the world to provide all the material and agreements needed to support that growth.
We want to make it easier to compete with other juggers from around the world.
The IJC Mission Statement was adopted on October 2, 2019 as part of its first Charter:
Do you coach other juggers, promote your club locally, organize tournaments, or otherwise serve as a leader in your local jugger club? The IJC Code of Conduct can help you create an safe, enjoyable and inclusive environment for the sport of jugger.
The IJC is a volunteer-run organization, run by juggers who take an interest in supporting and growing the sport of jugger. If you're interested in learning more, want to help as a volunteer, or have feedback, comments, or questions - contact us!

The International Jugger Council was founded in 2019 to serve as a representative body for the worldwide jugger community. This map shows IJC member countries and organizations around the world.
The Council comprises 1-3 Representatives from each member country, and each nation’s representatives share one vote. The Council elects a Board every year, which calls ordinary meetings every October and April and extraordinary meetings whenever the situation requires it.
Once the Council has agreed on setting a new goal for the IJC, the Board establishes a Committee to work on it.
The Board is responsible for managing the International Jugger Council. Its current members are:
| Name | Country | Position(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Wendy J-M | Australia | President, Rules Comparison Commissioner |
| Gabriel Maynard Hernández | Costa Rica | Growth Support Commissioner |
| Gil Richard | Canada | Mapping Commissioner |
| Ian Williams | USA | International Competition Commissioner |
| Miguel Alvarado | USA | Vice-President, Ethics Committee Commissioner |
| Pijus “Pope” Stankevičius | Lithuania | Legal Support Commissioner |
| Rickhard “Link” Nilsén | Sweden | Secretary |
| Valkyrie Savage | Canada | Web Presence Commissioner, Corporate Image Commissioner |
| Chris Wilcoxson | USA | Treasurer |
These committees help the IJC realize its mission. If there's a particular committee or area you'd like to help out with, you can also reach out to the relevant Commissioner on Discord!
