Jazzy Jumpers Skipping Club Information Pack 2017 jazzy.jumpers@gmail.com www.jazzyjumpers.org.au

Welcome to Jazzy Jumpers! We are the A.C.T. s premiere skipping club. Our skippers compete at State, National and International competitions as well as perform all over the Canberra region. Based at Amaroo School in Canberra s north, we welcome girls and boys of all ages to come and try this dynamic and fast growing sport. What is skipping? Also known as jump rope, skipping is a rapidly growing sport worldwide. It is a dynamic sport that includes both freestyle and speed elements; individual and team events; single rope, double dutch, wheel and long rope components. Freestyle routines encompass footwork, strength, gymnastics, multiple unders and rope manipulations all choreographed to music. While in speed, skippers race the clock to see how many steps they can achieve in a set time. Skippers train year round to perfect their skills and routines, and increase their speed, strength and coordination. You really have to see it to believe it! Reasons to start skipping Get fit Have fun Learn new skills Develop coordination Gain confidence Opportunities to perform and compete

Classes and Squads Recreational Class Our recreational class is held on Monday afternoons between 5pm and 6pm in the Amaroo School gym. All new skippers begin in this class where the focus is on developing basic skipping skills, increasing fitness and having fun. Skippers work through a skills passport with their coaches each week, where they learn freestyle skills in single rope, long rope and double dutch, as well as practise their speed technique. Skippers in the recreational class have the opportunity to compete in our club speed-off each year and perform in our end-of-year showcase. Skippers should bring a water bottle to training especially during the warmer months. Skippers can bring their own rope or may borrow a rope for the session. We offer a free trial class for all new skippers before signing up for the term. Competition and Performance Team Our competition and performance team is only by invitation from the head coaches or when a skipper has completed their recreational class passport. Skippers in this team are organised into three squads - Juniors, Senior Green and Senior Blue - for training, based on age and competition team structures. Each year skippers have the opportunity to compete at the NSW/ACT State Championships and Australian National Championships, as well as our club speed-off and speed challenges. Skippers also have opportunities to qualify, or be selected, for international competitions such as the FISAC World Championships, World Jump Rope and AAU Junior Olympics Games. As well as competitions, skippers may be invited to perform at various events around Canberra throughout the year, and all skippers perform in our end-of-year showcase. Skippers in this team are required to have the Jazzy Jumpers uniform for competitions and performances, and their own speed, freestyle and beaded ropes. Adult Jazzy Jumpers Class Our Adult Jazzy Jumpers class is held on Monday afternoons between 6pm and 6:45pm in the Amaroo School gym. In this class the focus is on developing basic skipping skills, increasing fitness, and having lots of fun and laughter. Skippers will even get their own skills passport to improve upon their personal best each week, whether it is in learning new freestyle skills in single rope, long rope and double dutch, or improving upon their speed scores. Skippers in the Adult class have the opportunity to perform in our end-of-year showcase. Skippers can bring their own rope, buy one at the gym, or borrow a rope for the session.

Term Fees Terms run for 10 weeks and follow school term dates. There are no classes on public holidays. Fees are listed below: Competition and Performance Team Senior Blue $200.00 per term Senior Green $200.00 per term Juniors $150.00 per term Group Routine $40.00 per term Gymnastics $60.00 per term Recreational Class $120.00 per term One-off lessons or pay as you go (recreational class only) $20.00 per lesson Adult Class $70.00 per term or $10 per lesson Jazzy Jumpers offers a family discount of 20% off the lowest fees for your third and consecutive children. It is preferable that fees are paid before the start of the term, however they must be paid in full by the start of week 2 of each term. If fees remain outstanding in week 3, then a skipper will not be able to continue skipping until the account is fully paid, unless alternate arrangements have been made with the treasurer

Skipping Australia Membership All skippers must become members of Skipping Australia each year. This covers their insurance at training, competitions and performances throughout the year. Membership fees are due at the start of each year or when a skipper joins the club. The cost of membership for 2017 is as follows: Competition and Performance Team Skipper $35.00 Recreational Class Skipper $15.00 Adult Class Skipper $15.00 How to Pay Fees may be paid by direct deposit or cash. For direct deposit, the details are: Account Name: Jazzy Jumpers Incorporated BSB: 112-879 Account Number: 466015378 Please use your child s name as the reference. Cash payments should be placed in an envelope with your child s name and details of payment (eg. Term 1 fees - $120) and given to the treasurer or coaches. Refunds All fees are on a term basis and are non-refundable. If a medical certificate is presented showing the skipper is unable to participate for a significant period of time, a partial refund of fees may be granted by the committee. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Competition Entry Fees Competition entry fees must be paid by the nominated date. A skipper may not be allowed to compete if the entry fee has not been paid on time.

Uniform and Dress Requirements Training All skippers should wear neat, appropriate clothes that they can train safely in. We recommend a tank top or t-shirt and shorts or leggings. Supportive joggers must be worn at all times. No slip on shoes, sandals, thongs or bare feet are allowed. Skippers without appropriate footwear will be asked to sit out for their own safety. Hair needs to be tied back and no loose jewellery. Uniform for Competitions and Performances Skippers in the Competition and Performance Team will require a uniform if they are competing or performing. Recreational skippers do not require a uniform. 2017 Jazzy Jumpers Uniform Girls Electric blue, lime green and white tight-fitting lycra singlet top ¾ black leggings Electric blue, lime green and white polo top Black, electric blue and lime green club jacket Black, electric blue and lime green club tracksuit pants (optional) Black shorts (optional and may only be worn for individual events at competitions) Boys Electric blue, lime green and white loose-fitting lycra singlet top Black shorts Electric blue, lime green and white polo top Black, electric blue and lime green club jacket Black, electric blue and lime green club tracksuit pants (optional) Please wear white ankle socks and ensure that underwear cannot be seen.

To ensure consistency in colour and make/style, all uniform items must be ordered through the club from our suppliers. Orders for new uniforms will be placed at the start of the year and then throughout the year if quantities permit. Skippers will be given an order form before an order is placed. If you require something urgently throughout the year, please speak with the head coaches. Uniforms are to be kept in good repair. For competitions and performances, hair needs to be braided in two braids and then joined together. Hair ribbons will be provided for competitions to ensure uniformity. Glitter hairspray may also be worn.

Ropes Ropes are available to purchase through the club. For 2017, Competitive and Performance Team skippers require A long-handled white freestyle rope Wire or Teflon ropes for speed. Senior skippers (and some junior skippers) will require more than one speed rope as different lengths are used for different events. Please speak with the coaches before purchasing a Teflon wire rope as these are not suitable for all skippers. An individual beaded rope At competitions, it is necessary for skippers to have two of each type of rope they use in case one breaks and there isn t enough time for the rope to be fixed or a new rope to be made before a re-skip. Recreational class and adult class skippers may borrow club ropes during training sessions, bring their own rope from home or purchase a long-handled white freestyle rope. Rope Prices Long-handled Freestyle Rope $16 Freestyle Replacement Rope (no handles) $10 Wire or Teflon Speed Rope $20 Wire or Teflon Replacement Rope (no handles) $15 Individual Beaded Rope $20 Freestyle Handle Grips $5 Committee The committee is responsible for the management of the club.
