How has COVID-19 affected the jump sports industry and what solutions are being proposed?

Eliot Mitkin

Hey friend,

I hope you're doing well! To answer your question about how COVID-19 has affected the sports industry in general and the jump sports industry specifically, it's safe to say that the pandemic has had a pretty significant impact. As you might imagine, any sport or activity that involves large groups of people gathering in close proximity has been heavily affected by social distancing guidelines and restrictions on public gatherings.

In the jump sports industry, which includes activities like trampolining, parkour, and free-running, there have been a few different challenges that have arisen due to the pandemic. For starters, many jump parks and facilities have had to close down altogether, either due to government mandates or lack of business as people stay home to avoid the virus. Even those that have been able to stay open have had to navigate a whole new set of safety protocols and procedures to keep both staff and customers safe. This might include things like mandatory mask-wearing, increased sanitation and cleaning measures, and limits on the number of people allowed in the facility at any given time.

One of the biggest challenges facing the jump sports industry during COVID-19 has been a lack of business. With so many people out of work or struggling financially due to the pandemic, spending money on leisure activities like trampolining or parkour might not be a top priority. Additionally, people may be hesitant to engage in group activities like these due to concerns about the virus.

So what solutions are being proposed to help the jump sports industry navigate these challenges? There are a few things that both businesses and customers are doing to try to keep these activities alive during the pandemic. Some jump parks have been offering discounts or special deals to try to entice customers back, while others have started offering virtual classes or tutorials that people can participate in from home. Some jump park owners are even advocating for financial assistance or advocacy from the government, to help support businesses that have been hit hard by the pandemic.

From the customer side, there are a few ways to support the jump sports industry during this time. If you do feel safe participating in these activities, consider visiting a local jump park or booking a class or session. If you're not comfortable attending in person, consider investing in some equipment or taking an online class to support these businesses from afar.

Overall, the jump sports industry has certainly faced its fair share of challenges during COVID-19. However, with a little creativity and a lot of determination, both business owners and customers are finding ways to keep these fun and dynamic sports alive during these difficult times.

Take care,
