Jump Rope UK aces rake in the medals

Redditch Editorial 30th Nov, 2017   0

EVERY one of the 32-strong squad from Midlands-based Jump Rope UK won a medal at the National Jump Rope Championships at Stratford Leisure Centre.

This was Jump Rope UK’s biggest event yet as a field of 90 competitors were in action from countries including Hungary, Belgium, Bermuda and America.

Evie Lowe from Jump Rope UK won the 14 and younger overall champion title and Florence Williams was second, whilst Lauren Shepherd won the senior overall championships and Stacie Pegg was runner-up.

Rebecca Cooper, Rachael Rollisson and Sue Dale, head coaches of the competitive team, all agreed the whole of the Jump Rope UK competitive team did themselves proud as they achieved numerous personal bests and many medals.




Recreational coach Gemma McGhee also had members attending this competition, some competing for the first time.

She said: “The team did a fantastic job and I am proud of all of them.”


Rachael added: “Jump Rope UK would like to thank the junior coaches and older skippers on the day – Olivia Beattie, Caitlin Speirs, Amy Gerrard, Jessica Turner, Talitha Scoltock-Daftary and Caitlin Colley.

“They did a great job keeping their teams focused on the day.

“The next event we are working towards is the National Speed Championships and Festival in May and Jump Rope UK are organising our first school jump rope competition in April for the Midlands area schools.”
