Amazing doc! Mar 02, 2009
By Jump Fan
"Jump is an extraordinary film; as mesmerizing as it is motivating! Here is one movie that will hook you with a great story, entertain you with all of its plot twists and turns, educate you about a thriving community that you probably knew little about, and leave you inspired and hopeful that, through the strength of a jump rope, kids lives can be changed for the better. This is one film not to be missed by you, your family, school, or community this year!"

Truly inspiring documentary! Jan 31, 2009
By N. Kaplan
"educator"
I am not a regular documentary watcher of anything, so I was all the more impressed with this wonderful movie. Helen Scheer did a great job picking just the right number of teams to follow -- their stories were well weaved throughout the entire documentary. The sport itself is an inspiring and impressive one to watch. You will find yourself thinking about the people in this film long after you finish watching it!

 Good for adults and kids Dec 01, 2008
By Gary Kout
This is a terrific film. Very inspirational and a lot of fun. I had the great pleasure of watching it with my kids, ages 11 and 4, and they loved it. Right after we finished watching, they ran to get their jump ropes and have a go. But it was more than just showing them some moves and techniques and getting them interested in jump roping. We watched earnest athletes work hard and compete with honesty and integrity, some winning, some not, but always trying their best, and for my kids and for me, that was the best lesson of all. I'm glad this film is a part of my DVD library. I'm sure it won't be long before we watch it again!

Oh my! Mar 16, 2010
By R. Waters
My wife and I are both teachers and I thought I'd surprise her with this DVD while her school was doing a unit on Jump Rope for Heart. Although some of the story lines were a little advanced for her first and second grade class, the jump rope action was not. Any one who has never seen what these young athletes can do with a rope is in for a real threat. As you watch the DVD you will live through the rigorous training, dedication and injuries that happen along the way. You (and your children) will admire the athletes for their commitment, wonder at their ability, and celebrate their achievement. As a middle school teacher, I strongly recommend this video when you feel that you or your students need a little inspiration; you will not be disappointed!
A must see for both kids and their parents Dec 05, 2008
By Capt PG
This is an excellent motivational film for our youth. Get them to put down their joy sticks and keyboards long enough to watch this documentary. They can't help but be affected if not inspired by the motivation, dedication , and work ethic of these kids and their accomplishments. Definitely a stand up and cheer(jump) kind of film. Congratulations to Helen Hood on her extraordinary her ability to capture the spirit of the athletes in this young sport.
