Jump Rope

Programs that provide opportunities for people of all ages to learn, become competitive in and enjoy jump rope as a physical fitness activity, a sport or a form of artistic expression. The programs may offer workshops and camps to help participants learn and practice the techniques and tricks associated with the sport; may provide opportunities for jump rope teams to demonstrate their skills in performances which feature a variety of synchronized maneuvers and tricks using different types of ropes; and/or may sponsor or make arrangements for athletes to participate in jump rope competitions. Competitors are judged for their speed, endurance, athletic ability, artistry and the level of difficulty of their maneuvers. Jump rope is a Junior Olympics sport.
