Help a Mom: Searching for jump rope classes

Posted: September 11, 2012

I received this quick email from a mom looking for jump rope classes for her daughter.

In search of jump rope classes for kids; age 6 specifically. Close to Holly Springs/Fuquay-Varina.

The Triangle is a hotbed for jump ropers (I featured the Tri-Force gym earlier this year). If you've seen the sport in action, you know it's more than a girl chanting "Miss Mary Mack" while jumping a rope by herself on the sidewalk. There are flips and splits and a lot of athleticism involved in moves that often require multiple jumpers at the same time.

Our reader is looking for recommendations in Holly Springs or Fuquay-Varina, but if you have favorite gyms elsewhere, please share those too.

Do you have a favorite? Please share your tips in the comments box below. (If you don't see the comments box below, you'll need to log in or sign up for a WRAL account. You can do that by going to the top of the page and clicking on either "log in" or "register").

My brother is the coach of the Super Skippers at the Cary YMCA--so I'm a little bias when it comes to jumproping! I know they host many clinics during the year. I believe most of them are at the Cary Y, but they are jumping so much, sometimes I don't know where they are?!!? :-) His team consist of some GREAT kids and they teach at the clinics! I would reccommend calling the Cary Y and finding out when and where their next one will be.

I just realized that's a picture of the Super Skippers in action next to this article:-) Those girls have been part of the team for several years and have "grown up" jumping.
