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.

What do you think the oncoming truck driver is thinking? That is quite hard partner interaction...

MOVING is great for EVERY BODY! We had a blast getting people moving at Parkinson's Moving Day! Moving, walking, jumping, turning! It is all really beneficial!

We LOVE to help get people MOVING! We had a great time at Parkinson's Moving Day Event held at UMBC Campus! We had all kinds of people out moving and jumping with us, keep swiping until you see who we met!

Showing our performing team jumping 6 at a time in a trianngle! Know where you are going next and keeping those jumps high is key!

Jumping outside at Savage Fest Community Event on June 7 was great! Thanks again for having us!

Try jumping a routine on a pogo ball! It is really fun!

Happy Father's Day! We start with a dad in double dutch, Brian who is a dad to three Kangaroo Kids Lifetime Members, on the AMJRF Board and announces at competitions, and then Tom, who competes with Retro Roos, helps with AMJRF Competition Committee and keeps us all organizaed with spreadsheets, PLEASE KEEP WATCHING the entire reel for Kenji. A dad of 2 current jumpers, that is also competes as a Retro Roo, also is a certified judge at our competitions, and has earned his spot on the US National Team. (watch the whole routine with different camera angles and music!) Thanks to all the dad and dad figures in all the jumpers lives!

It is senior week here in Maryland! And our 5th senior is John! John has been jumping with Kangaroo Kids for over 11 years! He is on our Travel Team, our Competition Team, a team captain, and coaches the adult jump rope class. He has competed at local, national and international events, he has coached at workshops and attended performances such as the 2021 Macys Day Parade. He is also an AMJRF Ambassador. He will be attending the University of Maryland, College Park and studying Electrical Engineering. John says, "My favorite jump rope memory is competing team show at the 2024 AMJRF Nationals. Team show is the only event that we can compete as a whole team together, and it's super special to share the competition floor with all of my friends at the same time. It was extra memorable in 2024 as we ended up earning first place, meaning that our hard work throughout the year paid off. "

It is senior week in Maryland! Our 4th senior is Priya! Priya says, "I’ve jumped with the Kangaroo Kids since I was seven years old. I’m on the travel team, competition team, a team captain, junior coach, and an AMJRF ambassador. The sport has been a central part of my life, and I’m very grateful for the friendships I’ve made and how supportive everyone is of each other. I loved working with the younger kids and seeing how quickly they improve. I will be attending Purdue University for chemical engineering this fall." Congratualtions!!

It is senior week here in Maryland! Our third senior is Norah! Norah joined the Kangaroo Kids at the age of six and kept jump rope as a major part of her life! She worked her way through our program and joined the travel team, and has been a part of our coaching staff for over five years! Norah says, "I genuinely enjoy helping out and watching the kids grow in their skills. Kangaroo Kids has played a huge role in shaping the person I am today. The community around me showed me what true friendship really means." Besides continuing to coach, Norah will over the next 2–4 years, be joining the Radiology program at Howard Community College, to explore a variety of specialties, including CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasounds, PET scans, SPECT scans, and nuclear medicine. I’ll have the option of becoming a travel technician or staying in one location. Congratulations!

It is senior week here in Maryland! Our second of the five seniors is Jaini! Jaini states, "I have been jumping since fifth grade and I have loved learning new things through jumprope (jumprope related and not). I really enjoyed halftime shows and parades because even though they are stressful, seeing the crowds' reactions makes them so much fun. I have really enjoyed coaching and spending time helping others learn something new. " We are happy to have her as a member of our travel team and our coaching staff! She will attend Drexel University in the fall to pursue a degree in biology! Congratulations!

It is senior week here in Maryland! We have 5 seniors this year! First is Juliette! She saw us perform at a show in 2023 and joined our summer camp, then classes then spent her senior year on our performing team! Her favorite thing is learning new routines and being part of the shows she once saw! She plans to help teach summer camp and keep jumping in the future! She will attend UMBC in the fall to pursue a dual major of computer science and visual arts! Congratualtions!!
