ABOUT US:
The Comet Skippers are a competitive jump rope team in Mason, OH (a northern suburb of Cincinnati). We were founded in 2002 by a family that moved from Texas, a hotbed for competitive jump rope. Our jumpers range from 3rd grade-college.
OUR COACHES:
Mike and Carmen Simpson first became involved in competitive jump rope when their oldest child took an interest in jump roping in the mid 1990s. They started like everyone else- as spectators and parents, then volunteers. Eventually they grew to help coach the Hot Steppers of Grapevine, Texas. When they were transferred to Cincinnati in 2002, they promised their children, 3 of whom were now jumping, that they would start up a new team in Cincinnati. With the backing of the Mason City School district ,the Comet Skippers of Mason Ohio were started, and the rest is history!
2008 Assistant coaches: Jim Davis, Elaine Dulovich, and Bryon Zambello.
