Rope Skipping Singapore / Rope Skipping Camp 2010

Rope Skipping Camp 2010 was held at Rope Skipping Singapore where lessons and sleeping time was in air-conditioning. This gets at least 30 percent more mileage than skipping in the Singapore heat and humidity so it is almost a necessity to have air-conditioning especially with young bodies who are more susceptable to heat stroke than teenagers or adults.

Participants where privy to new choroegraphy ideas, skills and fusion moves that will undoubtably set some trends in 2011. Newly created pair interaction skills called the Magic collection lead the pack of new ideas. There was emphasis on performance skipping too as all the participants are fusion skippers and many will compete at one Double Dutch Constest or another in 2011.

Drinking water was all mineral water and meals where freshly cooked food at the hawker center, coffee shops or MacDonalds downstairs. The meals times in the fresh air downstairs creates a relaxed socially interactive ambience between lessons. This high quality of life camp improves ropes skipping but perhaps more importantly encourages self-reliance and rational thinking which are cornerstones for a successful athlete.
