WANT TO LEARN MORE?
| GROW THE SPORT- HOW TO START A TEAM: Are you interested in starting a team? We are here to help. Jump rope is a terrific sport for endurance and cardiovascular health, but also is valuable for cognitive development (using both sides of the brain), focus, attention span, increased math scores... and it's fun! Some teams have the goal of learning to do performances, some want to grow into a competitive team on the National stage, with a performance here and there too. There's something for everyone, even adults. The jump rope community is an open and helpful group. We like to get together and help each other. Several times during the year, especially in the Fall, teams will host workshops where new jumpers can learn about the sport or experienced jumpers can learn new tricks. The Comet Skippers host a premier "Jump with the Stars" workshop every year in early December (see our workshop page). |
Start-up training and
"Jump Rope 101"- how do you get started and learn tricks? Maybe coming to a December workshop doesn't fit your schedule, or it just isn't practical for you to come to Mason... WE'LL COME TO YOU!! We travel to gyms throughout the Midwest and East to teach new teams that are starting up. Jump rope is unique in that the teachers are the youth: experienced jumpers in their teens and 20s. We will bring a handful of our "teachers" and a coach or two, and spend a day teaching your jumpers about the sport, while you learn from our coaches and adults. The first time we come, all we ask is that you cover our transportation costs. Please feel free to contact our coaches to ask any questions that you may have about our sport. We are members of USA Jump Rope and AAU Jump Rope, as well as the international organziation FISAC, all of which have websites full of information. They also have video, or just check out YouTube and search for jump rope videos- wow! Whether you're in Cincinnati, Toronto, or St. Louis, we just love the sport and want to spread it around the world. |
| SHOWS AND BIRTHDAY PARTIES: Just want to see us and be entertained? We do shows in the Greater Cincinnati/Dayton/Northern Kentucky area. Corporate gatherings, school events, High School reunions, you name it. Please call for availability and rates. BIRTHDAY PARTIES: We will come and perform, then teach the party guests some tricks and give them each a rope. We prefer a church, gym, cafeteria: somewhere with a tall ceiling and solid flooring. All ages, older than 6 is best. 1 hour duration includes teaching and up to 25 ropes, $150. |
