If you’re a Saratoga County resident between the ages of six and seventeen years old, you can participate in a Free Double Dutch Jump Rope Clinic sponsored by Saratoga County Department of Aging and Youth Services to celebrate Youth Month!

What is the Double Dutch Jump Rope Clinic?

It’s a three-day event where youth can learn skills and techniques necessary for Double Dutch as well as a short dance routine! The skills will be practiced in small groups and through a series of obstacle courses. As youth work together, they will learn team building, sportsmanship, communication skill development and positively coach one another. On the 3rd day youth from Mechanicville, who have also been practicing their skills will join with the youth in Wilton at the Christopher Dailey Gym. The youth will continue to practice their skills and then have the opportunity to demonstrate what they learned through individual and group performances for guests and other participants.
