JUMP ROPE ORGANIZATIONS

USA Jump Rope Federation organizes jump rope camps and tournaments in Double Dutch and Single Rope competition around the U.S. every year. The national championship tournament is held at Disney World in Orlando, Florida every June. USAJRF also offers promotional and educational videos, two of which I authored (I'm a former board member and former educational committee chair). Although most of the members of USAJRF are children, the organization is not only open to adults, but also offers competitive events for adults. Highly recommended!

American Double Dutch League specializes in Double Dutch competition (naturally!) with almost all the teams in Eastern U.S. Congratulations to ADDL for 30 years of competition, fun, and for putting trick rope jumping on the map with their many past appearances on the former Johnny Carson Show.

European Rope Skipping Organization (ERSO) is similar to USAJRF. This site has a number of unique features that are worth visiting, like a long list of established jump rope skills in single rope, double Dutch, the Wheel, etc. Also find links to organizations in individual European countries.

Info-Skip Canada is a web site with link to multiple organizations in Canada in around the world. It has both English and French.

FISAC-IRSA (International Rope Skipping Association) organizes an international rope skipping tournament every other year and will be holding its first international camp in Australia in July 2004.

Jump Rope Educational Material & Equipment

USA Jump Rope Federation has several instructional videos and manuals for helping you to master jump rope skills, as well as introducing you to the vast variety of skill in jump rope.

The Rope Warrior (a.k.a. David Fischer), a jump rope expert and performer offers two instructional videos and a manual that teach unusual skills.

Buddy Lee, another jump rope expert and former Olympic wrestler offers jump ropes and a book that focuses on how to use rope jumping for athletic conditioning.

Lifeline-USA, offers very good jump ropes as well and come with an instructional booklet. I've used their ropes from the beginning and used to do demonstrations for them.

JumpRope.com has a variety of jump ropes, charts, and instructional materials as well. I would recommend their instructional materials over their jump ropes.

Amazon.com is an excellent site for finding other jump rope related products, including hard to find books on Chinese rope, jump rope rhymes, etc. Just type in "jump rope" in their search box.

Rope to Success!
