Hoppin' Hawks Jump Rope Team
Katy Laws
The Hoppin' Hawks Jump Rope Team was established approximately 20 years ago.  Each year students in grades 2-5 are encouraged to try-out for the team. The team averages 50 students from year to year.  Jump Rope is an excellent way to build speed, coordination, and endurance. The team practices on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7:30- 7:55am in the Haw Creek Elementary Gym.
 
The try-out skills are:
1. 30 basic jumps
2. 20 skiers
3. 20 bells
4. 20 straddles
5. 20 scissors
6. 20 heel to heel
7. 20 toe to toe
8. 20 hops
9. 20 peek-a-boo
10. 10 criss-cross
 
The try-outs begin in late Sept and last through mid October. The team concludes in the end of March.
In the event of a weather delay (2 hour or 3 hour), there will be NO Hoppin' Hawks practice that morning.
