JUMP WITH US

3,770! That’s how many people jumped rope during the month of April for our Jump With US event! Congrats to Proform Airborne for having 2,727 people jump rope with them in the month of April!

 

Judges Cohort

AMJRF developed a cohort of judges for the 2023 season! The cohort offered a structured timeline to complete all required training courses and serve as a resource for collaborative learning and practicing, and a chance to ask questions every step of the way.

If interested in the cohort for the 2023-2024 season, please reach out to aac@amjrf.com.
