The Firecrackers are a team of elementary and junior high school girls from Ohio. This demonstration was at halftime of an Army/ Navy basketball game. Both sides gave the girls a standing ovation, and then some.
The girls practice for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week, and they have to keep their grades up too. And each girl must pass an etiquette class before joining the team. Enjoy.

Comment by Barb October 15, 2009 @ 6:47 amThe Firecrackers are from the Kings Local School District in Ohio. That is all I know about them. They are pretty amazing to watch. You can try Googling “Firecrackers jump rope team” and see what you can find.
Comment by The Elephant's Child October 15, 2009 @ 11:35 amOMG!!!!! These FIRECRACKERS r like the ROCKETTS of jump rope!
Comment by Jill October 25, 2009 @ 11:34 amWOW! This was truly amazing. I too would like to know where to find a schedule of upcoming performances. I am also wondering why this has not spread to other states. It seems like a wonderful program from which other young girls could benefit. Best of luck to all who are involved, the girls, their coaches, and their parent.
