"IT'S AMAZING HOW GOD USED SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A CLOTHESLINE TO CONNECT THOUSANDS OF WOMEN ACROSS THE WORLD"
- PAMELA ROBINSON - FOUNDER
40+ DOUBLE DUTCH CLUB
HISTORY
THE 40+ DOUBLE DUTCH CLUB WAS OFFICIALLY “BORN” IN MAY OF 2016 BECAUSE 45 YEAR OLD CHICAGOLAND RESIDENT PAMELA ROBINSON WAS IN SEARCH OF A “HAPPY PLACE” TO GO TO WHEN “ADULTING” AND THE INEVITABLE STRESSES OF LIFE GOT TO BE TOO MUCH. PAM WENT TO HER FRIEND CATRINA DYER-TAYLOR AND THEY DECIDED TO MAKE A FB POST ASKING IF ANY OF THEIR FRIENDS WANTED TO COME OUT AND JUMP. THIS BECAME AN OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN AGES 40 AND ABOVE TO ENJOY AN EXCITING, AFFORDABLE WAY TO IMPROVE THEIR PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL HEALTH BY INTERACTING WITH OTHER WOMEN, RELIVING POSITIVE CHILDHOOD MEMORIES AND CREATING NEW ONES!
​​
WHAT STARTED AS A FB GROUP OF ABOUT 30 CHICAGOLAND WOMEN NOW HAS OVER 500,000 FOLLOWERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED 40+ DOUBLE DUTCH CLUB BRANCHES, WHICH WE REFER TO AS “SUBCLUBS,” IN CITIES ACROSS THE WORLD- INCLUDING GROUPS IN GERMANY, CANADA AND ISRAEL! THE MEMBERS OF THE 40+ DOUBLE DUTCH CLUB RANGE IN AGE FROM 40 TO OVER 80 AND REPRESENT VARIOUS SHAPES, SIZES, RACES, SKILL LEVELS AND BACKGROUNDS. WE ARE ONE GROUP, ONE MOVEMENT, ONE SISTERHOOD- WITH MANY LOCATIONS!
​
ALTHOUGH THESE WOMEN MAY HAVE INITIALLY COME TOGETHER BECAUSE OF A LOVE FOR DOUBLE DUTCH, THIS GROUP HAS GROWN TO BE ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST "JUMPING ROPE"! GOD HAS USED WHAT MANY THOUGHT WAS "JUST" A DOUBLE DUTCH CLUB TO START A MOVEMENT THAT IS HELPING WOMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD.
​
SOME SISTERS ARE BORN INTO YOUR FAMILY,
OTHERS ARE CHOSEN ALONG THE WAY!
