A 42-week repeating cycle. There is no fixed start point. You join wherever the cycle happens to be, and it repeats. Four evergreen games run every week regardless of the main topic: FYJJ Guard Play, FYJJ Guard Retention, FYJJ Pinning, and Circle Game.
For more on how this works, see How the Curriculum Works.
