It's less than 20 days until the Northbridge Knockouts compete at the 2018 Australian Rope Skipping Championships at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra.
Held from June 9-11, 2018, more than 270 athletes will be attending this year, ensuring a thrilling three days of skipping.
It's particularly exciting event for our contingent heading to the World Championships, with a Team Australia Day being held on Friday, June 8, prior to the 2018 Australian Rope Skipping Championships .
The event is a wonderful opportunity to unite Team Australia and allow them to bond, learn and socialise collectively before heading overseas as a national squad in July.
Skipping Australia has engaged with a number of sporting professionals to put together a program that will form the inaugural event for Team Australia and provide a learning opportunity for our athletes, coaches and officials.
The program will deliver advice from allied sports specialists and include topics from the following disciplines:
• Elite Athlete Management/Athlete Strength Training
• Sports Chiropractic
• Sports Psychology (The mental side of competition)
• Injury Prevention and Management
• Dietician – sports focused (pre-championship, championship, recovery)
• Australian Anti Doping Agency
• Dedicated Worlds Team Training (60 mins)
Thank you Skipping Australia for all the hard work involved in organising the day.
