Competitive Program

​

GSS' National Award Winning Competition Team is for students 7 years old to adult who are dedicated jumpers. These are the superstars of our program and are passionate about their unique sport!  Coached by National Champions, experienced instructors, and previous and current competitors.  

Jump Rope is a highly competitive sport both nationally and internationally.   Competing is taken seriously and participation is an enormous commitment of time and finances.  GSS believes that being involved in competitive jump rope at an early age develops positive self esteem, confidence, accountability, and leadership in young jumpers. In our program, jumpers have the opportunity to perform for large crowds and compete against many other teams from all over the country and the world.

​

Competitive jump rope teaches children how to be outgoing, builds self-confidence, and teaches a sense of teamwork. The friendships that our jumpers and parents make with their teammates is also so an important reason why competitive jumping is a wonderful addition to your child's athletic education, as the jumpers and and parents become more like family than a team.

Our competitive program is a great opportunity to advance technical skills, fitness, performance and personal accomplishments.  It is also a great way to meet friends and work together in a team environment.  The team trains a minimum of 10 hours per week on the skills, techniques and routines to increase stamina and speed for local events throughout the east coast, and at the National and World level.  There are also many opportunities available to travel internationally.  This program runs all year.
