Why you should attend a jump rope meetup

I love engaging with the jump rope community, and my favourite way to do that is by attending jump rope meetups.

I always make sure I go to a few of these events every year; and here’s why you should, too!

Jump rope meetups are free to attend

While you might need to cover your transport costs, jump rope meetups themselves are usually free, making them an affordable way to get more involved in the sport.

Meet the jump rope pros who inspire you

If you’ve been following jump rope pros online, there’s nothing quite like meeting them in real life.

Jump rope meetups give you the chance to chat one-on-one with the pros, ask them questions, and get tips directly from them.

Connect with people at a similar level to you

If you follow a lot of jump rope accounts and hashtags on social media, you might only be exposing yourself to people who are smashing jump rope and are further along in their journey than you are.

But jump rope meetups bring together people of all levels. Whether you're a complete beginner or more advanced, it's a great opportunity to connect with others, share progress, and learn together.

Learn new jump rope skills

People always ask me for tips at jump rope meetups, which is awesome because I love giving personal tutorials!

At any event you go to, there’ll be loads of people on hand to teach you new tricks, skills, and routines and help you with any issues you might be facing on your jump rope journey.
