  3. Here is a blurb on them. Since I am from Ohio and had a long contract close to where they come from this makes me even more proud of these fantastic kids:

    About the Firecrackers
    The Kings Firecrackers are a performance jump rope team made up of talented 4th-8th graders from the Kings Local School District in Ohio. Coached by Lynn Kelley, they perform at venues across the country. Some noteable past performances have been at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, a Presidential Inauguration and an appearance on The David Letterman Show.

  10. That was wonderful. Thank you for sharing that. I love that the Navy guys and gals gave them such a fantastic response.

    Those girls are amazing and make me realize how incredibly lazy I’ve become.

    Agree with Margaret, so many pluses for girls to join something like that. And THANK GOD they weren’t put in ho clothes.

  12. Much better than the school dance troops that I’ve seen doing their hip-hop itchy ho moves.

  13. I was astounded watching these dedicated young athletes put on such superb performances. Completely “sweep away” would describe it best. My hearty congratulations to to the girls, coach, advisor and all involved for their hard work and devotion to create a sensational jump rope team.

  14. How great that was to watch. So good to see young people expending their energies in such a talented way.
    I have watched this over and over. It is just unbelievable how good they are.

    We are from central Ohio, moved to Southeastern Ohio.

    Would like to see them go places with this and make a
    living at this like the GLOBE TROTTERS.

    WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL , WONDERFUL.

    good luck to all of you

  18. Absolutly amazing. I have watched various videos of theirs. They always bring a smile to my face. PLEASE make a full video for sale of all of their shows and post to your website because I think that it will sell like hotcakes. What adorable girls who are all smiling. Kudos to their coachs and trainers.
