The CFK Sprinters Make National News (Part 1)

By Nick Johnson | Staff Associate

It's not every day you make Kenya National News! The CFK Sprinters were recently featured not once but twice in short news clips on some of Kenya's most popular TV broadcast networks. In this first clip, Coach Innocent Philip reflects on how CFK's jump rope program began (with help from Michael Fry of One World One Rope), why he decided to become a coach, and why jump rope is an important activity for Kiberan youth.

The CFK Sprinters had a whirlwind year -- from exceling at the East Africa Jump Rope Competition and Camp to being featured by the Los Angeles Times in advance of the World Jump Rope Competition, and now being profiled on some of Kenya's most widely watched networks. It's an exciting time for jump rope in Kibera, and the CFK Sprinters will keep performing and spreading the sport of jump rope nationwide.

Click here to watch the clip! And stay tuned for Part 2.
