603 is a symmetrical 3 object siteswap. Two balls are thrown at 6 ball height (about six times as high as a 3 ball cascade juggled at the same speed), one going up and down on each side of the pattern, and the other ball is thrown from hand to hand at 3 ball height. The rhythm of the pattern is right-pause-right-left-pause-left. One hand throws a 6, then you pause for one beat, then the same hand throws a 3, and then you repeat those throws with the other hand.
This is an excited state siteswap, starting in the state 1011. You can do this pattern from a cold start by starting with two balls in the hand that throws first and one in the other, or you can transition from the basic pattern to 603 by throwing two 4s, and go back to the cascade with a 1:
