Hey everyone,

Just moved to the area from PA where I was a former member of a jump rope team. It was really great...in fact I'm looking to get back into it! Are there any other jump rope enthusiasts out there? I've heard that some of the local elementary schools have jump rope teams, anyone know what the deal is with these? Thanks!

Jump on!

At the secondary school where I taught, there was a double dutch jump rope team. It was mostly all black girls and they were great. They could do tricks and stuff. I have not seen any jump ropers any where else but you could call the people who write the Wash. Post Sunday Source and see if they will do an article and help you find others. Good luck

That's racist.

Agreed... totally inappropriate and I don't understand where this hatred comes from.

Why is my post racist? I don't hate anyone, I was just telling the jump rope poster about the team at my school.

Here is a way to make a post that isn't stuffed with racist hatred and bigotry, except leaving the sexism if you insist:

"At the secondary school where I taught, there was a double dutch jump rope team. It was mostly all girls and they were great. They could do tricks and stuff."


And then the best way:

"At the secondary school where I taught, there was a double dutch jump rope team. It was great. The team could do tricks and stuff."

I can't let it go on... Trickie, we're kidding.

I'm part of an elite group of hopscotch players. Only a few of us are still left in the NoVa area.

If this is a serious question, I know of two local programs...

The Laurel Ridge Lions (formerly Ridge Ropers) at Laurel Ridge Elementary in Fairfax (near Robinson Secondary) is a non-competitive jump rope team for grades 2-6. They perform at community events (e.g., Fairfax Fair) and nursing homes.

Jumping Buddies (www.jumpingbuddy.com) in Woodbridge is a competitive team. Several of my daughter's friends from Laurel Ridge were on this team, too. The team was founded by Buddy Lee about 15 years ago.

There may be others in the area, but these are the ones that I know of.

Im part of an elite jump rope/ badminton team. We were deployed in Vietnam when we were set up and framed for a crime we didnt commit by our commanding officer who was subsequently killed in action. We have been in the run ever since. if you are in trouble, need superior jump roping /badminton skillz and you can find us You just might get the help of THE J TEAM! i PITY THE FOOL WHO CHALLENGES US TO DOUBLE DUTCH!

What's this I hear about secondary schools girls turning tricks? Wow they start young in FFX.

the downward spiral of this thread is making me laugh so hard, I want to vomit

you guys are too much today

the US circlejerk team is looking for a few good men....

345, I am not surprised you were the first in line to get that info... go ahead and join up if it's your thing to jerk off other guys, this is America after all. We no longer discriminate against homosexuals.

I'm male and 63. How do I sign up for these jump rope teams? Sounds like fun.

So any hot girls out there into jump ropes?

I dont think i would be too interested in it without the girls...

Girls jumping :)

This Def needs to goto the MAN SHOW

were there any takers? did the jump rope team ever take off?

There is a gym in NVA that has won national championships. If you are seriously interested, put forth some effort and figure it out...otherwise, troll away.
