FIT INDIA Rope Skipping Collaboration Officially Announced
The collaboration was formally initiated through an official communication issued by the FIT INDIA department on March 21, 2025, addressed to Dr. Shikha Gupta, Director of the Indian Rope Skipping Federation. The letter confirmed IRSF’s active participation in upcoming FIT INDIA events and outlined the structure for integrating rope skipping demonstrations into weekly fitness programs.
This partnership strengthens the shared vision of both organizations to encourage mass participation in fitness activities that are simple, engaging, and accessible to people of all ages.
Rope Skipping Sundays Join Sundays on Cycle Movement
As part of this collaboration, Rope Skipping Sundays will now be a regular feature of the “Sundays on Cycle” campaign held every Sunday at Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium in New Delhi. IRSF has been allotted a dedicated slot at 7:00 AM, prior to the cycling activities that begin at 8:00 AM.
During this session, trained IRSF coaches and athletes will conduct live demonstrations, interactive workshops, and beginner-friendly rope skipping sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to learn basic techniques, observe professional skipping routines, and understand the fitness benefits of rope skipping firsthand.
This structured integration ensures that rope skipping becomes a visible and engaging part of India’s growing fitness movement.
