Alyssa Chambers
I have always been so passionate about sharing the sport of jump rope with people who have never heard of it. I want to continue sharing my love for this sports and represent the teams in Utah!! I would love to get to know all of the amazing people in the jump rope world and make long lasting friendships. All athletes deserved to be recognized even ones of a lower skill level i want to advocate for younger kids in jump rope and get them more involved. We can learn a lot from these awesome kids!!

I have been Jumping competitively for the past 10 years, 3 of which I was a member of the Bouncing Bulldogs, 1 year I was a member of Skipsations, and the past 6 I have been with the YMCA Super skippers! With all of those very different experiences with teams I have learned what works best and what is most enjoyable as an athlete on the teams! I have also been an AMJRF ambassador for the past two years! I would love to serve on the AMJRF advisory council because of my passion for the sport and the people involved! I want to help grow the sport as well as make it enjoyable and accessible to all! I feel I can best represent my fellow athletes with my close connections to many of them and being a voice of what they feel is best! On my current team I feel I have done a good job of speaking up in the best interest of the teammates to make the environment enjoyable and I feel I can do the same for all those who want there voices to be heard.

As a jumper for the last 10 years on the Comet Skippers, I've seen the sport grow and have been actively involved in the competitive sport. I hope that through the AAC I can become even more involved with the ever-growing community and be a voice for less-represented jumpers and jumper groups. Jump rope has given me so much, and I'm passionate about giving back, spreading its joy, and ensuring a thriving jump rope community for all.
Erika Ebersole
Hi! My name is Erika Ebersole, and I have been jumping for the past 17 years. I have competed with a few teams over the years, and currently compete with Hop! Skip! Jump! This past season, I also helped coach the Kangaroo Kids. I have been lucky to meet so many amazing people through this sport, and have created many friendships over the years that span teams all over the U.S (as well as other countries). I would love to leverage these relationships to give every athlete a larger voice and chance to be heard, as I know so many of us have great ideas that would help elevate this sport and our competitions in ways that will make them more accessible and beneficial for us all!
Isla Gleeson
I have been heavily involved with the jump rope community for the past 12 years and I am passionate about supporting the current athletes. I have shared my love for jump rope as a team captain and junior coach for Kangaroo Kids, staff member at workshops around the country, mentor for younger jumpers on Kangaroo Kids and Jumpin’ Allstars, and as an AMJRF Ambassador, but I believe I could amplify my impact on the sport by joining the AAC. Jump rope athletes deserve an advocate who has years of experience in competitive jump rope and will address their concerns and desires as a fellow athlete.
McKenna Brand
The biggest reason that I want to serve on the AAC is because jump rope is such a large part of my life and my hope is to grow and improve the sport. Being on the AAC would be such an amazing opportunity for me seeing as I am going into my senior year of high school and want to stretch myself and become more of a leader. Over the past couple years of competing and going to workshops I have met and befriended dozens of jumpers who I would love to work with and/or represent while on the council. I hope that my unique personality and way of thinking would be an asset to this council and improve the sport of jump rope for years to come.
Naomi Weiler
Hello! My name is Naomi Weiler and I am a rising junior in high school on Aerotrix from Chapel Hill, NC. During my 10 years jumping, I have been a national competitor, a performer in local demos, an assistant coach while I rehabbed my torn ACL, and most recently a difficulty judge at the 2024 AMJRNC as well as a returning athlete. I would love to be able to provide the opinion of someone that comes from a smaller team. I can bring a unique viewpoint as one of the few and youngest athlete and judges to the sport.
