Kangaroo Kids is a precision jump rope team from Howard County, Maryland.  Our rope jumping is choreographed to contemporary and traditional music, where every foot jumps in unison and every ropes hits the floor simultaneously.  This unique combination of exercise and dance is enjoyable to perform and exciting to watch.

The mission of Kangaroo Kids is to promote physical fitness and goodwill by example and by demonstration of our jump rope skills.  As fitness ambassadors, Kangaroo Kids performs numerous Jump Rope fitness shows and conducts demonstrations, workshops and competitions each year to spread the benefits of this form of physical fitness around the world.

The Kangaroo Kids are organized into classes and teams by age and skill level.  Beginners are taught the basic rope jumping skills, then progress into routines ranging from simple twists and turns to more intricate tricks.  Our developmental program helps even the youngest jumpers evolve into performance team athletes.  The program develops technique, coordination and physical conditioning.  Our jumpers learn to perform for audiences, develop teamwork skills as well as individual social skills.  Our program encourages discipline, confidence and enhances self-esteem and can have a positive effect in all other aspects of young jumper's lives.  

Although the emphasis of our organization is on aerobic conditioning and demonstration rather than competition, some members choose to participate in regional, national, or international competitions.   The Kangaroo Kids Competition Team has won numerous awards at both the U.S. National Jump Rope Championships and AAU Junior Olympic Games.

Kangaroo Kids is an independent, 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
