How Do I Become a Super Skipper?
• Our tryout requirements, including speed, power and style skills, will be listed sometime this summer. Any child under the age of 18 can join the Super Skippers as long as they are able to meet each of the requirements. Tryouts are ONLY once a year. They are in mid-August.
Where Can I Learn the Skills Necessary for Tryouts?
• A great way to learn is to attend one of our Tuesday night clinics offered in either October or April. Another great way is to attend one of the YMCA's summer jump rope camps sponsored by the Super Skippers. Dates are listed below and for more information, contact the Cary YMCA at 469-YMCA.
When Does the Team Practice?
• The team practices 3 days a week based on your age group. Everyone practices between 4-7 pm on Sundays, 7-8:30 pm on Tuesdays, and for the under 12 age group they practice Wednesday nights from 7-8:30 pm and the 13 and over group practices on Thursdays 7-8:30 pm.
Competition vs. Performance Team?
• Your child can choose less practice times if they are on the Performance team. They will not be involved in competitions but are able to attend the majority of performances throughout the year. There is a price difference between Competition and Performance team. Contact the Cary YMCA for current membership rates. You do not have to be a member of the YMCA for your child to join the team. You will need to purchase all uniforms and ropes regardless of which team you are on.
