Who we are

St George Skipping began over 25 years ago with the Jump Rope for Heart fundraising program at St George Christian School in Hurstville. Over the years we have progressed to include Jump Rope for Heart Demonstration teams and then Competition Skipping at a State, National and International level, including in Hong Kong, Sweden, China, USA and Japan.

In 2025, St George Skipping Association Inc. was established and all training was moved to locations in Carlton and South Hurstville.

We have since grown to over 80 members within our Competitive and Recreational Skipping programs.
