Jump Rope For Heart
Jump Rope for Heart has officially begun at Princes Hill. Students have received a sponsorship form this week and letter outlining why we are participating in this. Each neighbourhood will have one PE session focused on learning how to skip and then skipping will become a regular part of their program.
We will have 7 weeks to practice before our ‘Jump Off’. Depending on age and skill level, students will learn to skip individually, with a partner and with groups. Just like learning any new skill, remember it takes time and requires regular practice. Jess and I will be running a lunch time club for skipping enthusiasts on Wednesdays.
Hopefully this experience will inspire you to go out and buy a rope to practice at home. Just 10 minutes a day can make a huge difference to your child’s fitness levels.

Remember, the Jump Rope Team from Hungary all started by picking up a rope and having a go. Who knows what a Princes Hill Jump Rope Team could achieve!
