Try the United States Amateur Jump Rope Federation.  They have manuals and videos reasonably priced.

www.usajrf.org

Also, the American heart association has a page dedicated to basic skills on their site http://www.heartsource.org/kids/jump/skills.html

There are several more, just type in jump rope skills in a search engine and you should be all set.

Subject: [Jump Rope] Jumprope for newbies?

If your trying to learn how to jump rope effectively (as in not
getting the rope caught up), are there any resourses on the internet
that would help you with this.  And not some 2 paragraph description.
Unless all you really need is what you should use and a two paragraph
description.
