About the Team

Levitate Jump Rope Team is a volunteer-run youth jump rope program based out of Louisville, Colorado. We provide athletes with the opportunity to grow through the sport of jump rope in a fun, supportive, and challenging environment.

We strive to inspire confidence, teamwork, and perseverance while helping young athletes discover what they're capable of. Through practices, performances, and competitions, our jumpers develop strength, coordination, leadership, and lifelong friendships, all while having fun.

Levitate is both a competitive and performance team. Throughout the year, our athletes perform at school assemblies, community festivals, and local events, sharing the excitement of jump rope with audiences across Colorado. We also compete at the local, regional, and national levels, giving athletes the opportunity to set goals, challenge themselves, and celebrate their hard work.

Our dedication has led to incredible achievements, including National Championship titles and World Championship finalist finishes. While we're proud of these accomplishments, we're even prouder of the confident, resilient young people who earn them.

Whether an athlete dreams of competing on the national stage or simply wants to stay active, make friends, and learn new skills, Levitate provides a welcoming community where every jumper can thrive.
