High Flyers Team Philosophy

The HT High Flyers demonstration/competition team gives students the opportunity to build valuable life skills, gain health benefits by jumping rope on a regular basis, travel to other schools and communities to demonstrate skills, gain poise and self-confidence performing and speaking in front of large groups, learn personal goal setting and self-evaluation, become role models for other students, learn teamwork and cooperation, and participate in a voluntary activity that gives back to the community and others.  For those who choose to participate in competition, there is a significant commitment in time and effort, as well as the opportunity to travel to many areas of the country.

Athletes who are members of the HT High Flyers jump rope team are expected to demonstrate integrity, dedication, perseverance, honesty, respect for others, good academic standing, volunteerism, cooperation and kindness.  Team members must make up any school work they miss while traveling for team commitments. 

As our team becomes recognized, members are acknowledged for their participation in our program and they should take this responsibility seriously as they represent our school, the community, themselves and their families. 

We are a close-knit team – a “jump rope family.”  Our success is based on the significant commitment that everyone gives to our program.
