I knew there were rope-skipping groups around but had no idea whether they had any groups which were purely recreational. I don't quite think I will ever get back to competition level, especially not when I see what the young ones bring out. There's some acrobatics there that I'm simply no longer cut out for doing. =P
Found one. Then went to their first lesson and had to sit down halfway through, and I thank every deity in the universe that the teacher of that day wasn't actually the teacher of the group cause she overdid it somewhat. I don't think I would have stayed if she had been our coach the rest of the year.
But the group is an interesting mix of moms of skippers to a couple who skipped before, then stopped and started again (like myself). And the best part of it, around Halloween and Christmas we still get to play fun games during the last class before the holidays. Therefore around Halloween, we were turned into witches, and right before the christmas holiday we had to solve riddles before finally getting to our presents which was a christmas ball with our faces in**. =D
** The group makes a calendar each year and our little band was set to cover December so they wanted to do something with a christmas theme. I kinda volunteered to create a tree with our faces photoshopped in as christmas balls. Our coach then used my creation to print our faces and stuck them in a see-through ball. =D
