2021 RSC Challenge!

We are excited to announce our virtual event, the 2021 RSC Challenge! We understand that this year has been difficult for many of our members to participate at full capacity, if at all, so our event is designed to be as inclusive as possible, no matter what restrictions you are currently under or how long you have been able to train (if at all). You can participate in the 2021 RSC Challenge from home or your regular practice facility, whichever works best for you. All entries will be submitted by video. Please do your best to record using the highest quality video possible to best showcase your abilities!

The event is open to all ages and will have the following divisions:

11 and Under (Athletes born in 2010 or later)
12-15 (Athletes born in 2006-2009)
16+ (Athletes born in 2005 or earlier)

There will be no gender divisions.

The events in the 2021 RSC Challenge are:

Best Trick. Difficulty is the primary focus of this event but clean execution will also be considered. Skill must consist of no more than two jumps (i.e. an entrance and an exit).

30 Second Backward Speed. The athlete has 30 seconds to complete as many backward speed skips as possible. Athletes must use an alternating jogger step. The right foot will be counted. The official timing track for Single Rope Speed Sprint must be used and be audible throughout the entire video.

Fab Five (Individual and Team). Creativity, smooth execution and technique will be the focus of this event. All five skills must be performed in combination and be completed in no more than 7 jumps (i.e. enter, skill x5, exit). Any type of ropes can be used (single rope, wheel, double dutch, long rope etc.).

15 Seconds on the Beat (Individual and Team). Athletes have 15 seconds to show the best music interpretation possible while skipping. The focus of this event will be creative choreography to music and smooth execution. Difficulty of skills will not be considered.

The 2021 RSC Challenge will NOT explicitly follow the IJRU judging criteria. The event will be judged by a panel of "Celebrity Judges" nominated by each provincial association. They will select five finalists in each event and YOU, the members, will be the ones to choose the winners via online voting at www.RopeSkippingCanada.com. The event is FREE for all Rope Skipping Canada members. Prizes for the finalists and winners will be announced in the coming weeks. Time to get jumping!

About Rope Skipping

Rope Skipping (British English), or Jump rope (American English), is a creative and fun physical activity enjoyed by children and adults alike. One or more participants jump over a rope swung so that it passes under their feet and over their heads. This may consist of one participant turning and jumping the rope on their own (Single Rope), or three or more participants taking turns jumping and turning a variety of ropes (Long Rope, Double Dutch and Partner Skipping).

Rope Skipping Canada supports all forms of rope skipping. From recreational programs to high-performance competitive teams, we are here to offer world-leading program support to all of our members.
