About Us
Skipping Workshops was founded in 1997 by former primary school headteacher Harold Galley. He started a skipping club at his school and soon became aware of the many advantages of encouraging skipping. These include better levels of fitness, improved playground behaviour and gains in all aspects of PE.
Skipping Workshops has gradually expanded, so that by 2003 every LEA in England was being offered free skipping demonstrations.
Harold Galley also founded the ‘Bouncers’ skipping team, now one of the country’s top display teams that have represented Team GB in international competitions.
Most of our work is done by our visits to primary schools throughout the UK, but we also organise regular skipping clubs and work with youth groups. We tailor our daily schedule to suit the size of your school or group. We also sell high quality gymnastic skipping ropes, and an instructional DVD and book.
