First Time at WYYC?

You’ll see amazing freestyle performances, learn new tricks, meet players from all around the world, and trade yoyos in an open, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the ultimate place to get inspired. You’re garenteed to leave as a better yoyo player before you arrive.

What to Bring:
When heading to the World Yo-Yo Contest, it’s wise to come prepared with both your yoyo gear and a few extra essentials.
Sharpies
The top players and world champions will be attending this event! Many are happy to sign yoyos, cases, or t-shirts. If you want your gear autographed, bringing a sharpie is your best bet—normal pens won’t cut it on a shiny aluminum yoyo.
Yoyo Hard Case
You’ll want to bring a variety of yoyos, and the best way to protect them during travel is a sturdy Yoyo Hard Case.
If you’re bringing your entire collection or just your top three throws, a case keeps them safe and organized.
Money
From special releases and limited edition colorways to brand-new yoyos, the sponsor area will be packed with exclusive finds. Trust us—you’ll want to save up! YoYoFactory and other top brands will have plenty there for you.
Optional Extras
- String (lots of it!)
- Comfortable clothes and shoes—you’ll be on your feet a lot
- Power bank
Why You Should Go
WYYC is more than a contest—it’s a celebration of yoyoing and players from around the world. A place where skill, style, and creativity come together on and off the stage. Whether you’re watching legendary freestyles or sharing tricks with new friends in the hall, it will be an unforgettable experience.
Europe does not get this opportunity often. So if you’ve ever dreamed of going to a World Yo-Yo Contest, Prague 2025 is the time to make it happen.
