We are the Kangaroo Kids!

Kangaroo Kids Jump Rope is a precision jump rope team with classes for all skill levels from ages 6 to 18, located in Howard County, MD. We perform at schools, events, halftime shows, and compete nationally and globally. Our team is committed to promoting physical fitness, good sportsmanship, and a love for the art of jump rope.

We follow Howard County Rec and Parks Inclement Weather Policy. If schools are closed, it does not mean that the HCRP facility is closed. You need to call the status line for each facility you may have a program in. So to know if Kangaroo Kids are having practice or classes, please call the facility line listed. Thank you.

Thank you to the Jemicy School for having us out for a school performance! We love sharing jump rope! Contact us for a jump rope show or workshop for your school! info@kangarookids.org

Kangaroo Kids work hard on their routine skills! This routine has lots of partner interaction! Book a performance with us! www.kangarookids.org

Lifetime Kangaroo Kids member Foster S. and Noah H. from our Kangaroo Kids Competition Team joined Ajani R. from North Carolina's YMCA Super Skippers to represent the US National Jump Rope Team at the China Open! Winning first place in Male Double Dutch Single Freestyle! After the tournament, Foster and Noah attended a speed camp to learn from the coaches of the Chinese world speed champions. What an amazing experience! So proud of them!

Wait for it.... and watch closely as one of our coaches jumps on his back inside a trick in double dutch (while a fellow staff member flips over him!), at the staff show at the Superskippers Winter Workshop! Reminder: Turning skills are super important!

Kangaroo Kids has a Competiton team as well as a performance team! www.kangarookids.org
