Seer Green Skippers
Welcome to the SGS website where we aim to tell you about the club and perhaps inspire you with our skipping galleries and news.
We are a community rope skipping club, which regularly competes in BRSA organised competitions. Members of the club have also competed for the UK in international competitions. The sport of Rope Skipping, also called Jump Rope in America, combines the skills of jumping, dancing and gymnastics. Skippers need to have speed, endurance and some gymnastic and musical ability to be a good all round performer.

Tiffany and Georgia travelled out to Tampa in Florida in July 2012 where they represented Team UK in the World Youth Tournament at the University of South Florida with their Kingston team-mates Harry and Sam Cross. The team had a fantastic time in Florida, making time to visit lots of the attractions before and after the competition as well as fitting in some extra training. The team came 7th overall in the Open 15-17 team competition which consisted of 6 different disciplines, which included 2 speed events in single rope and double dutch relays, 2 single rope routines and 2 double dutch routines.
They also competed in the separate pairs double dutch speed relay where they came third in the Open 15-17 age group and were delighted to be presented with bronze medals.

Tiffany Branscombe and Lara Liebenberg have just returned from Guimaraes in Northern Portugal where they represented Team UK in the European Championships. Both girls performed well and had lots of fun with 4 girls from Scotland. Tiffany was the top UK skipper at the competition coming 22nd overall in the 15+ European Masters with a new personal best and club record of 376 in 3 minute speed and also scored well in the freestyle section with a new international personal best of 188. Lara came 17th in the 12-14 Youth Tournament, her best performance being in the freestyle section where she scored a very creditable 136 in her first international competition. Well done girls!
