Event Overview
Events and Age Groups
Qualification - New for 2024
Each Provincial Sport Organization (PSO) can send:Â
Speed/Power Events
8 slots for individual events in all age categories and gender divisions
8 slots for team events in all age categories and gender divisions
Freestyle Events
For the 15 and under age categories:
8 slots for individual events (SRIF)
6 slots for events with 2 athletes (SRPF and SRWF)
4 slots for events with 3+ athletes (SRTF, DDSF and DDPF)
For the 16 and over age categories, we propose:
5 slots for individual events (SRIF)
5 slots for events with 2 athletes (SRPF and SRWF)
3 slots for events with 3+ athletes (SRTF, DDSF and DDPF)
No qualifying spots are to be reserved for TSRO, TDDO, TCAA or ISRO competitors in any age category or age division. If an athlete or team qualifies for the National Championships in all the events in the TSRO, TDDO, TCAA or ISRO, they can be entered into that representative event.Â
Age Categories
In order to align with Long Term Athlete Development and to create a healthy competitive environment, Rope Skipping Canada will be running the following age categories for all individual and team events:
11 and Under
12-13
14-15
16-18
19+
30+
This aligns with the current age categories for IJRU, with the exception of the 12-15 age category. RSC has decided to divide this category into two smaller age categories (12-13 and 14-15). The age categories are based on the age of the athlete on December 31, 2024.
Events
Earlier this year, RSC sent out a survey to our members to get feedback on what events we should hold at Nationals. The majority of respondents indicated that they would like to see the National Tournament include all regular events. Here is a complete list of events for each age category.
