I got really good at this at recess as a kid. Including backwards, we called it Butterfly, turning the ropes the opposite way. Hadn't done it in YEARS! At least 15 years. Then in college I had gym class, we randomly grabbed some ropes and started jumping. Then I was like, we should do Double Dutch! And I jumped right in and out like I was 8 years old again. People were shocked I could do it lol. If you saw me on the street, you wouldn't think, I bet that guy can do Double Dutch. Hahaha. It's like riding a bike once you learn it!
Hi everyone!!! :-) I'm from Italy... I have a question ... In America is the double Dutch coaching license the same as the Rope Skipping coach license? Are the two sports taught by the same coach? Or are they two different sports and therefore two different types of coaches and license?
As far as I'm aware, there aren't any official coaching licenses. There are certifications for judging, but coaching isn't licensed. I could be wrong as I don't work directly with any of the groups. The main jump rope organizations are IJRU ijru.sport/ USA Jump Rope www.usajumprope.org/ NDDL www.nationaldoubledutchleague.com/ You could check with one of them, but I think the only official certifications are for judging.
I'm not sure I understand the question. At what point are you referring to for "both hands" being on the ground. Normal Double Dutch turning will only have one hand down at a time. If you're doing double unders, then both hands would move together, but that isn't covered in this basics video. Let me know what you mean and I would be happy to help explain it :-)
Janis, one nice thing about jump roping is that there really aren't starter vs advanced styles of ropes. If they're good, they're good. There are different types for different styles of jumping, but generally what you start with can last a long time as your skills progress. With that said, if you're jumping outside, I would look into beaded as they will generally last longer (though they would be the heaviest option). Cloth ropes are a good option outdoors as well, but I would avoid plastic speed ropes unless you're jumping indoors. Check out buyjumpropes.net and their signature beaded double dutch ropes if you want beaded. Their competition cloth dd ropes are ok. Avoid buying ropes at walmart or other similar type stores, they are almost universally awful. Bad ropes are terrible to learn with.
@@JanisGagliardi Let me know how they work out for you. I've been using the same ropes for 20+ years so I don't often try out new ones unless I'm helping to outfit a program I'm working with/training.
The 2 best options for Double Dutch ropes are cloth and beaded. The beaded ropes are a bit heavier, but their louder clicking sound can be good for hearing the rhythm when you're learning. Check out buyjumpropes.net or some other similar jump rope store to pick up a set.

I've seen that numerous times over the years. It really does come back quickly. Glad you were able to still work those skills!

That would be an insane way to get into shape. I remember how cool it was when the black girls would play this, I'd always ask them if I could try
It takes some teamwork, but it is a great workout and quite a bit of fun once you get the hang of it.
Yes, I used to play Double Dutch, I couldn't jump, but I was a great turner, I love thinking about that. Another great video.
@@spiritcavegrl5293 Thanks! It's a lot of fun and a great way to work on team work.

Does it matter if both hands are on the ground or only one hand?

@@Jumpropesecrets for the crab in the last part or the video
All this time I’ve been trying to enter by jumping in 😮
Sometimes a simple change can make all the difference
