YMCA Cincinnati Rope Twisters
"The sport of Double Dutch is blossoming into one in which youth of every background can develop and display their skills. The YMCA Cincinnati Rope Twisters League formed in 1992 following successful Double Dutch programs launched at branches such as the West End YMCA which began in 1986. Girls and boys from kindergarten through high school participate in this year long opportunity. Youth travel both in and out of state as they participate and/or perform in demonstrations, city/state/world competitions and workshops. Drug awareness, Social Skills, Teen pregnancy and even hygiene are all topics presented in a Double Dutch forum. Cincinnati YMCA leaders have realized from the beginning that the heightening of athletic ability is only one need that the Double Dutch League could address."
