Strictly JUMP JAM

This category is open for all JUMP JAM licensed schools. The Strictly Live competition is open to new students & those who have previously competed at any live JUMP JAM event.  Two categories Strictly Freshman and Strictly Open. Students will present a JUMP JAM routine without costumes or choreography/pattern/formation changes, exactly as the JUMP JAM video. Students will be given a JUMP JAM tee shirt to wear on stage as part of their entry fee, that they can keep. Age categories are year 1-4 & year 5-8 (if entry numbers are big enough we will split the 5-8 to 5-6 & 7-8).

Feedback From a  New Coach and School 

Just a quick note to say thank you for providing the opportunity for so many students to perform in front of an audience yesterday. Our students really enjoyed the experience, and I have had feedback from parents today who enjoyed seeing their child perform.

Personally, the support to help guide me through the process, right from the initial development day and school visit until the performance has been invaluable. I would definitely be keen to support any further opportunities as they arise. I am also quite happy to be used as a reference if you encounter other schools that are considering entering in the future. Frank Usherwood (Bethlehem School)
