The American Jump Rope Federation (AMJRF) is the national governing body for competitive jump rope in the United States. It is a recognized member of the International Jump Rope Union.[1][2]
Competitions[edit]
National Championship[edit]
The American Jump Rope National Championship is an open competition. All AMJRF members are eligible to participate without a qualification process. All participants compete in the preliminary age division championships. The top athletes of each preliminary event, regardless of age, then move onto compete in the Grand National Championships.
The National Championships have been held annually every summer since 2019. The 2019 inaugural Championships were held in Raleigh, North Carolina.[3] The 2020 Championships were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2021 Championships were held virtually. In-person championships were resumed in 2022.[4]
Other competitions[edit]
AMJRF sanctioned competitions occur throughout the season and are typically hosted by local teams or clubs. Athletes who compete at these events have the chance to make the national Season Scoreboard, which displays all the top scores from every AMJRF sanctioned event from the season.[5]
Rules and judging[edit]
AMJRF follows the guidelines of the IJRU rulebook.[6]
National Team[edit]
The USA National Jump Rope Team is composed of athletes who qualify to compete for the United States at the IJRU World Jump Rope Championships. The qualification process for the team requires athletes to submit video footage of their event from any AMJRF sanctioned competition. The footage is rejudged by a certified judging panel, and final team members are chosen and based on the results of the re-judging.[7]
