Kings Firecrackers

I mean I'm not really a jump roping enthusiast or anything but after watching the video of the Kings Firecrackers Jump Rope Team performing at the Naval Academy, I definitely can respect how much dedication it takes to perform at their level.

The Kings Firecrackers are a performance jump rope team made up of talented 4th-8th graders from the Kings Local School District in Ohio. Coached by Lynn Kelley, they perform at venues across the country. Some notable past performances have been at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a Presidential Inauguration and an appearance on The David Letterman Show.

Being a Firecracker means hours of work and dedication. After tryouts in the spring, the team practices five days a week for two hours. When a big performance is approaching, like the Macy's Parade or a Chicago Bulls game, they practice six days.
