About Us
The Capital Jumpers are a group of energetic competitive jumpers and performers of jump rope in the National Capital Region. Capital Jumpers range in all ages starting as young as 6 years old.
The team was established in 2015 at the University of Ottawa. At the time, the organization was a student sports club with the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO). The Capital Jumpers student club dissolved in 2017 after expanding club membership to people of all ages. Members of the Capital Jumpers have competed around the world, have taught in various workshops, and performed in hundreds of shows.
The Capital Jumpers are coached by nationally-ranked athletes who specialize in different styles of jump rope. The coaches have earned national and international titles, hold various speed records, and are recognized and respected athletes in the country.
The team has participated in numerous events, showcases and festivals. The Capital Jumpers are active partners with the Heart & Stroke Foundation’s Jump Rope for Heart program since 2017 and continues to do performances and demonstrations for the organization. We have also participated in festivals such as Glowfair, Ice Cream Festival, Wine & Food Festival, and FitSpirit. The team is always looking for new partnerships and performance opportunities.
In order to keep up our standard of excellence our team practices 2 times a week with additional practices added closer to competition dates. The Capital Jumpers rely on a group of dedicated jumpers, coaches and parents for its success.
