Seeing these girls perform both excites and delights me. I raised two daughters who thrived on group experiences such as these. Brava and may your enthusiasm never wane!!

These girls are amazing. Kudos to you for starting such an inspirational program for them.I've watched their video over & over.I've shown it to all my family and friends. Do you have a video you sell of their performances? I would love to see them live if they ever perform in the Seattle, WA area. Thanks for all you have done for these girls.Thank the girls for their hard work & the great entertainment they have provided for not only me but thousands of others

You young ladies are wonderful. Talented, athletic, artistic, and enthusiastic. I have such admiration for your coach, Lynn Kelley. I taught school for 38 years and it was all that I could do to get my students to sit down and be quiet. I wish that you could come to Orlando and perform at a Magic game. Talk to your coach, you could go to Disney World. God Bless all of you.

I was sent your link today and had to tell you how very talented you all are and God Bless the coach for putting in the time to make you all so proficient. The time you girls spend practicing must be something else! Congrats and continued jumping!
The best to you all,

You girls and your coaches are fantastic. The talent, energy and commitment you exhibit is truly inspirational. Keep up the hard work and by all means "keep jumping". Thank you for such great entertainment.

Girls, this was awesome. I passed it along to some of our instructors and they showed it to their classes as a marketing tool. You are going to be in such demand. How did you get started with such a great activity and do you have some tips for start-ups elsewhere? Great performances by all.

I live in central Florida and would like to see the team come to this area. They put on such a great show and I think it would expose a lot of people to the talent that these girls have. Keep up the good work. JIM

Hello,
I am a school nurse, and we are looking for an assembly for our Red Ribbon Week, which is coming up the end of October. I know this is short notice, but I am wondering if you travel to high schools to do assemblies, and if so, how much your fee is. I believe your performance would be inspiring for students to see, and could provide motivation to deter students from destructive decisions in other areas of their lives.

Wow! What a spectacular performance, girls! I got an email with a link to your routine and watched it online. Amazing! Keep up the good work, and I hope that you can come to Fort Worth, Texas sometime. God Bless you all!

It is especially commendable in contrast to drill team routines that are so often suggestive. Kudos to wholesome entertainment built of skill, talent and dedication!

We love to watch the Kings Firecrackers and can't wait to learn about the 2009-2010 schedule. Our 3-year old daughter tells us that she wants to be a "Firecracker" when she gets bigger. Nothing would make us prouder!

I recently got to speak with Lynn Kelley by phone
after watching the videos. What an inspiration she is to our youth today and was so down to earth to speak with. I want to talk to and see these girls in person and meet Lynn Kelley soon!

A most electrifying and inspirational performance. I would love to see this group perform at an Olympics opening ceremony some day.

Wow. This was definitely one of the most impressive feats of athleticism I've ever witnessed. And what amazes me is that these girls are so young! For 4th-8th graders to have such dedication is pretty outstanding. Kudos, Firecrackers! I live just moments from Kings Mill, and would love to see you perform sometime! I'll be looking out for you in the future.

I have seen these young people perform at different events and I think they are awesome. In my opinion anything that will get the kid's off the couch and exercising is a great thing. Good luck to these young people and I wish them much success.

You kids rock!

There used to be a jumprope team in the 80's when I was younger here in Dayton. I can't seem to remember the name of them though. I wanna say the Jazzy Jumpers. They were quite entertaining I remember.
