Week 14 Dec 6th-10th Long Ropes


Jumping rope is synonymous with rhythmic movement. To be successful at jumping the long rope you need to be able to keep a rhythm. The success of the jumper is also dependant on the rope turners' rhythm. All three need to work as a team. The more you expose yourself to the long rope the better you get and the less intimidating it is. Jumping rope is great exercise and something kids can do with friends and family!! Jump Ropes are GREAT holiday gifts too ... they are small, Inexpensive and gender/age neutral! Happy Jumping!


Suggestions


Have the turners stand so the rope the length of an already established line (tape works great) also Tie a knot at the center of the rope marking the spot that touches the ground, emphasize staying in that spot as you jump or run in.
