Mini-Jumpers (Under 5yrs only)
Are your kids jumping all the time all over the house? Reign in that energy and get your youngster participating in a fun jump rope challenge.
Jumpers at this level, who are still learning to jump rope, or are still too young for jumping rope will have an option of jumping exercises like rainbow jumps with a rope, jumping in and out of a hoop, two foot jumps forward and back or jumping jacks. Activities will be geared toward learning to jump rope but proficiency is not at all necessary. It's all about being active and burning some of that energy while helping to raise money for our schools.
Participants will be encouraged with weekly goals working on building up to jumping rope with consecutive revolutions. Most jumping sessions will be about 5-10 minutes and participants are urged to do as many sessions as they like throughout the month of May.
Jumpers at this level will have a chance to accomplish numerous activity milestones with "badges" awarded online throughout the competition. There will be opportunities to earn chances for fun prizes along the way.
Sample of Milestones:
- Learning how to jump rope
- Recording certain number of jumps throughout the month
- Recording the number of sessions jumped throughout the month
