Jump Rope
Announces New Partnership with Sport
Court!
Click on the picture
above to visit
the USAJR Sport Court
page!
We’ve teamed up with
our championship court partner Sport Court to offer our members exclusive Sport
Court practice court kits. You can purchase these kits directly from Sport
Court through the website they’ve created specifically for USA Jump Rope
Members. Sport Court is offering these kits at a significant discount (20%) off
of what you would typically pay if purchasing directly from the company.
These kits are made
with authentic Sport Court tiles and have been approved and certified by USA
Jump Rope. There are four court kit sizes available (4’x8’, 5’x10’, 25’x25’,
and 40’x40’), each designed to be assembled quickly and easily. Each kit
includes enough felt underlayment to the area under the specific pad and also a
custom painted USA Jump Rope/Sport Court logo to make your practice floor look
like a smaller version of the court you play on at the national competition.
For the two smallest sized court kits, they also offer optional custom edging
packs to provide a finished look if desired.
Practicing on one of
these kits is a great way to help you become familiar with the same surfacing
used at competition. These kits will also provide added resiliency to decrease
the likelihood of injuries and should help you improve your skills on modular
surfacing. For more information and to order your own kit today,

Sport Court logo above
