  Jump Rope
   
  

Whether you’ve never picked up a jump rope or you’ve been jumping for years, come and learn some new techniques from the Giffin Family. They will be teaching basic jump rope skills as well as more advanced techniques (depending on jumpers experience). Skills included; single rope jumping, rope manipulation, pairs, teams and of course double dutch! And what would a jump class be without some fun jump rope games!

There are many great aspects to jumping rope! Everyone knows it is great exercise improving balance, coordination and endurance. A wide range of benefits are developed through teamwork which include; cooperation, compromise, communication, patience, etc… Experts even say jumping rope makes you smarter! Improving reading, memory skills and mental alertness, how awesome is that! (Please visit www.jumpropeinstitute.com>benefits for further information.)

Let’s face it…..kids think jumping rope is just plain fun, we don’t have to tell them it’s good for them too!

This class will be held outside. If the weather prevents it, we will move inside for a class of conditioning exercises. Students may be asked to wear a mask over their mouth while inside the room.
