Great Performances - The Kings Firecrackers Precision Jump Rope Team
|
|
And you thought your high school marching band was disciplined!
The Firecrackers are a performance jump rope team made up of talented 4th-8th graders from the Kings Local School District in Ohio.
The Firecrackers grew out of an elementary school physical education exposition. Coach Lynn Kelly was looking for a rhythmic activity that could be choreographed to music. She found some jump ropes, a few interested students and some good music. The response to the activity was so positive, that it was suggested that the group perform at halftime of a Junior Varsity basketball game. More overwhelmingly positive feedback lead the team to perform at more high school games and then eventually college and NBA basketball games.
The team practices approximately two hours a day, five to six times per week.
