Meet the Clubs!

The Lincoln Leapers were the first competitive skipping team in Canada and have been instrumental in the development of the sport in our country. 2019 is their 37th Anniversary as one of Canada's most dynamic and successful skipping teams. There are currently 24 athletes on the competitive team ranging from 9 to 18 years old and 6 coaches. This year the team will be competing in local, national and international competitions. In 2016 the Lincoln Leapers created a Rec team to help promote and grow the sport and provide an introduction to competitive jump rope for this select group of jumpers.The team also continues to run the Little Leaper program providing jump rope to the community. When not in the gym the Performance Team has performed for various venues including Markham Fair, Raptors Half time shows, Harlem Globetrotters pregame shows, local events, and our athletes run workshops to promote their love of jump rope including pairing with Jump Rope for Heart.

Our 2018/2019 Georgian Jumper team is composed of 12 athletes and is being led by Terry-Lynn Stevens, Jacki Barks and team manager Tim McWhirter. The team has taken opportunities to travel to the USA and southern Ontario to attend workshops to further develop their skills and share their enthusiasm of the sport. We look forward to attending Provincials, Nationals and are exploring attending Worlds.The Georgian Jumpers continue to be active within the community to thank supporters and promote the sport of jump rope. The athletes continue to volunteer their time with both our recreational and advanced recreational jump rope groups. In June of 2018 the Georgian Jumpers competitive team was inducted into the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame. In July of 2018 we had 4 athletes travel to Worlds in Florida. Georgian Jumpers would like thank the parents, coaches and community members for their continued support.

The Bonnyville Skipperoos originally got their start back in the late 80’s thanks to a dedicated team of teachers and parents of Duclos School. The Skipperoos were involved in the skipping community for the next 10-15 years where they set Provincial and National records and were an international demo team. Unfortunately the club took a hiatus of about 15 years. In the fall of 2012 Skye Christians decided to re-ignite the club up again. She contacted former Skipperoos and current members of RSA to assist her with the club. Through a few years of rebuilding, it wasn’t long before The Skipperoos were starting to make their impression on the competition floor. Thanks to the dedication of their head coach Renée Marchildon the Skipperoos are confident going into their 6^th year of competitive skipping and look forward to many more years competing and promoting the sport. Best of luck to all of the individuals and teams participating in the 2019 Nationals!

The Camrose Spirals Jump Rope Club has been around for nearly 30 years. This year we have 27 competitive athletes and 5 instructors. We are looking forward to sending our team to Nationals in Olds, Alberta this season. Our team is coached by Jodi Harrison, who still competes, and a former Spirals athlete, Carley Angelstad. We are so lucky to have these dedicated women put so much time and effort into our athletes!! The Spirals also run a recreational program for 70 athletes from Sept.- Dec. each year, and this year we launched a beginner class for adults. We have 3 new athletes that bridged from rec to competitive in January. We also have 6 athletes, and Coach Jodi, heading to Oslo, Norway in July for the World Jump Rope Competition. We wish everyone good luck at the upcoming competitions this season, and safe travels to all..
