F.I.T (Flight In Training)- This team consists of advanced jumpers who have successfully completed the required number of skills on the Soar chart.  These jumpers practice from 7:30-8:50 on Thursday evenings at Prospect Mill Elementary School.  FIT jumpers work on preparing themselves for the Flight team and learn group routines frequently performed by the Flight team.  These jumpers also work on creating single rope routines, pairs routines, wheel routines, and double dutch routines and performing the routines with little or no errors.  FIT jumpers also learn how to turn more advanced long rope and traveler skills such as rainbow, eggbeater, cliff, single bounce traveler, and wheel traveler. 

FLIGHT- This is the highest team in the Hoppin' Hawks program and jumpers on this team have been with the club for many years.  The Flight team performs at various schools throughout the county encouraging students to participate in the every growing sport of jump rope.  Flight team members also serve as the instructors for the developmental teams (Talons, Wings, Soar, and FIT).  Members of this team train several days a week in preparation for school and community shows.  Flight team members are also given the opportunity to compete for AAU or USA Jump Rope in competitions across the nation.
