Meet the coaches:
Mike and Carmen Simpson first became involved in competitive jump rope when their oldest child took an interest in jump roping 10years ago.  They helped coach the Hot Steppers of Grapevine, Texas.   When they moved to Cincinnati in 2003, they decided to start a new team, and the rest is history...

Coaching goals:
