Yep, a lacrosse ball would work pretty well, too, and is probably the
cheapest option. It's a bit more likely to break stuff than the stage
ball, but less likely to break stuff than an acrylic ball.
Another benefit of lacrosse balls is that they can be used for bounce
juggling, if you're into doing toss juggling as well. They're not as
nice as silicone balls for bounce juggling, but when they're $1-2 and
silicones are $35 and up, you can't argue with the price.

I want to precede this by saying I'm pretty terrible at contact
juggling so take my advice with a grain of salt - but I started
practicing by buying a lacrosse ball. It was small, pretty dense
(but not as hard and dense as an acrylic) and cheap. I think i
paid 99 cents for mine.
