Frequently Asked Questions

Skipping Workshops is a fun and engaging programme designed to teach children essential skipping skills, improve their fitness, and build confidence. Our sessions are led by experienced coaches who inspire children to enjoy physical activity through skipping.

We cater for mostly primary, but also secondary school children, from Reception to Year 11. We can also cater for Nursery children from Spring term. Sessions are adapted to suit different age groups and ability levels.

Yes! We ensure our workshops are inclusive for all children, including those with SEN. We adapt activities as needed and work with teachers to ensure everyone can participate at their own pace.

Booking is simple! Just contact us, and we’ll arrange a suitable date for your school. We recommend booking early, as our workshops fill up quickly.

Each workshop typically lasts 30-60 minutes per class, but we can tailor the timing to fit your school’s schedule.

In a typical day, a one-form entry school (up to 210 children) can take part, with one class at a time (up to 30 students). Half-day sessions are available for smaller schools, and larger schools can book additional days. If the space allows in your school, there is also an option to have two coaches, which can increase capacity and provide more engagement.

We provide high-quality skipping ropes for use during the sessions. Schools can also purchase skipping ropes from us if they wish to continue practising after the workshop.

We require at least one teaching assistant to support our workshops, and encourage teachers to join in and help supervise the sessions too. It’s a great opportunity for them to pick up techniques to continue skipping activities after the workshop.

Yes! Schools can opt for an End-of-Day Skipping Assembly, where children from different year groups showcase the skills they've learned throughout the day. It’s a fantastic way to celebrate their achievements, inspire others, and bring the whole school together for a fun and engaging finale.

We prefer an indoor space where possible for the safety of our coaches (and for reliability with the good old British weather!). If sessions are scheduled outdoors, please note that we may not always be able to accommodate rescheduling due to bad weather.
