Our final two days of tryouts (for 3rd grade and up) are rescheduled:

Monday 1/29 and Wednesday 1/31

Marie Drake Gymnasium

4:30-6:00pm

Our tryouts span the course of 3 normal Juneau Jumper practices. There are 7 requirements which are designed to be learned throughout the tryout period with the help of the Juneau Jumpers. We do our best to make this experience fun and approachable. Even if prospective jumpers are not experienced enough to complete all 7 requirements, we believe our tryouts are a valuable opportunity for everyone! Attending jumpers will learn new skills through focused one-on-one attention with our amazing team and will get a sense of the work ethic required for this level of jump roping. Please email juneaujumpers.ak@gmail.com with any questions! We hope to see you there!
