Montana Super Skippers’
Spring Summer News Letter 2009
What is it about jumping rope that is
fun? Is it because it is a challenge?
Is it because your hands have to do one
thing while your feet do another? Is it
not enough just to do basic bounce instead of having to try to make a double
under, a triple or even a quadruple? Is
it about teamwork? Or maybe it is about
the friendships that are made. Whatever
the reasons, jumping rope is a great
sport.
The Fall Skill Building Session had over 45 jumpers who
participated. The session concluded at
the end of January, after two dazzling university basketball performances. Way to Go Jumpers!
A current Winter Skill Building session is
underway. Over 30 Jumpers are working
on improving their single rope, double dutch, and long rope skills. The gym is a jumping on Wednesdays!
On January 27th Members of the team traveled to Belegrade and
Bozeman where they performed for
Heck- Quaw , Emily Dickinson, and Longfellow Elementary
schools.
This was followed by a Lady Bobcat
performance on Saturday.
Spring brings Colorful Ribbons!
