Why use our Skipping Challenges?

Our Skipping Challenges are simple to use with everything you need all in one place. the Challenges Series enable the needs of all ability levels to be met whilst enhancing some key life skills!

Pupils will need to practice (RESILIENCE) to achieve the times required for each award, they won't realise how much exercise they are doing as they will be having FUN!

You do not have to submit any results. Pupils can record their own progress (INDEPENDENCE) and Skipping Leaders can undertake key roles (LEADERSHIP).

Schools can use the pupil's record as evidence of improved COORDINATION; SPEED; AGILITY & ENDURANCE.

The challenges are easy to use and can be used:

-At Home
-Lunch time
-In lessons
-Before school
-After school
-Interim breaks

Need some Skipping Ropes?

We have designed this programme with Dan and it is now being rolled out across the country. As a thank you Dan is offering all Berkshire Schools a discount to buy high quality skipping ropes to deliver the challenges.

Appropriate sized & weighted ropes are a must for successful skipping. Dan is offering BERKSHIRE schools an AMAZING deal:

This discount is by quantity of ropes ordered

-50-299 ropes 12.5%
-300-599 ropes 13.5%
-600+ ropes 15%

Discounts are per order. You can use this discount as many times as required, however the discount works against the ropes ordered per order, not on accumulation. For orders below 50 the class set rate can be used see www.dantheskippingman.com/shop. Delivery is usually within a few days.

To access the promotional code for these discounts contact your SGO.
