Kia Ora!

Welcome to my website! I’m Sacha, and I’m a competitive jump roper. In 2021 my passion for exercise led me to discover freestyle skipping through an Instagram video, opening my eyes to a vibrant, global sport that combines creativity and athleticism.

In New Zealand, skipping is often seen as a schoolyard activity or something “for girls”; but in reality, it is a recognized sport with clubs, state championships, nationals, and even world championships. Unfortunately, New Zealand is still catching up.

My journey began with learning tricks from the amazing online jump rope community, where I connected with talented folks worldwide. They helped me develop proper form and introduced me to various skill categories. This fueled my passion for a sport I never knew existed.

In 2022, I started training with Australian World Champion, Luke Boon, who has been my freestyle coach since. His guidance has enabled me to achieve feats I never thought possible. In 2023, I entered the competitive scene, traveling to Australia for competitions. In 2024, I won my first medals.

In July 2025 I traveled to Japan to become the first athlete to represent New Zealand at the World Jump Rope Championships. It was the greatest honour of my life.

Now, I’m on a mission to spread the love of jump rope throughout Aotearoa. I’m currently the President of Skipping New Zealand and our aim is to grow the sport domestically with the aim of having our first National championship by 2027. To help educate Kiwi kids I’ve created a YouTube channel of tutorials so they can start learning some new skills!

I love visiting schools to show tamariki what is possible with a skipping rope. If you’d like to organise a visit please feel free to reach out.

Join me on this exciting journey and let’s bring jump rope to new heights in New Zealand!
