Competitions

There are two major jump rope competitions in the United States each year and one World Championship held every two years. The United States Amateur Jump Rope Federation (USAJRF) holds a National Championship each year in June at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. State and regional competitions are held to qualify for the Nationals. Events include speed, freestyle and Team Show.

The second major competition is the Junior Olympics sponsored by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). Events include speed, freestyle and Team Show.

The Federation Internationale de Saut a La Corde (FISAC) is the international organization that governs the World Championships which are held every two years. This French title means International Federation of Jump Rope. The best jumpers travel from all over the world to compete for the title of World Champion. Past championships have been held in Australia, Korea, Belgium, Canada and the United States.

The Heartbeats have historically performed extremely well in all these competitions, capturing the Team Show trophy at both the Nationals and the AAU Junior Olympics. The Heartbeats have also won numerous individual and team medals in both tournaments. The Heartbeats have competed in World Championships and have had very successful competitions with two Heartbeats teams winning gold to become World Champions and one group winning the silver medal.
