Skipping is so much more than jumping over a rope.
Let me show you what's possible.
I’m Sacha, a competitive jump rope athlete and coach on a mission to get more people skipping, here in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world.

— LEARN TO SKIP
There's a lot more to skipping than you might think.
Jump rope is full of creativity, with a huge range of skills, tricks and combinations to learn. You don’t even have to jump over the rope if you don’t want to!
Whether you want to learn new tricks, find a fun way to get fit, book a lesson or get your whole school skipping, there are plenty of ways to get started.
01
At Home
Grab a rope and give it a go! Learn the basics and start building new skills with my free skipping tutorials, all from home and at your own pace.
02
At a Lesson
Want some one-on-one help? I coach kids and adults at all levels, with online lessons worldwide and in-person coaching in Waikato and Auckland.
03
At School
Let’s get your school skipping! I visit schools to show tamariki what’s possible with a skipping rope, teach new skills and give everyone the chance to have a go.
— MEET SACHA
From picking up a rope to representing New Zealand.
I discovered freestyle skipping through an Instagram video in 2021 and was amazed by what people around the world were doing with a skipping rope.
Four years later, I was in Japan becoming 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 and show more Kiwis just how far a skipping rope can take you.

— SKIPPING NEW ZEALAND
Growing the sport in Aotearoa.
Skipping is a recognised competitive sport around the world, but here in New Zealand we’re still building awareness of just how much more there is to it.
Through coaching, school workshops, tutorials and my work as President of Skipping New Zealand, I’m helping more kids and adults discover the sport, learn new skills and see what’s possible with a skipping rope.
The more people who give it a go, the more the sport grows.
HEAR FROM OUR TAMARIKI
Inspiring the next generation to get jumping.
“I learnt so much from you and you have inspired me to skip more and more. You have taught me lots of things like the criss cross, arm wrap, foot wrap and many more.”
“Thanks for telling us about the coolest tricks we never knew! You had tricks that inspired probably everyone in this school. You’re the best of the best!”
“I learnt how if you try hard enough you can achieve what you want to learn….Most of the kids in our school have been inspired by you to keep on skipping.”
GIVE SKIPPING A GO
Ready to get jumping?
You don't need to know any tricks or even be particularly good at skipping to start. Pick up a rope, learn something new and see where it takes you. You might surprise yourself!
