Izzy plans to perform with them at a Double Dutch exhibition to practice their routine. Izzy agrees to join the team permanently, and suggests they change the name to Hot Chili Steppers instead, to which Mary agrees.

With some help from Izzy, the Joy Jumpers are able to put together a better freestyle routine. His fellow boxer, Tammy ( Rebecca Williams), finds out but promises to keep it a secret if he stops teasing her. Over several days, Izzy spends more time with the Joy Jumpers and improves tremendously at Double Dutch, though his boxing skills and punctuality suffer as a result. The girls convince Izzy to be a temporary replacement until they can find someone else, and he secretly practices with the Joy Jumpers before school at his father's gym. Izzy does so, having done jump roping to train for boxing. Mary then challenges him to jump rope and prove that it's easy. Not taking Double Dutch seriously, Izzy mocks them. The Joy Jumpers need to find another teammate, or they can't compete in the city finals. Upset with Mary's freestyle choreography, Yolanda leaves the team and joins their main competitors, the Dutch Dragons. The Joy Jumpers take fourth place, barely qualifying for the city finals. Though Izzy tries to hide it, he enjoys the competition. Izzy brings his younger sister, Karin (Kylee Russell), and her friends to the Double Dutch regional competition, to watch Mary and her teammates, Shauna ( Shanica Knowles), Keisha ( Laivan Greene), and Yolanda ( Jajube Mandiela). Izzy's neighbor, Mary Thomas ( Keke Palmer), is a competitive Double Dutch player on a team called the Joy Jumpers though the two often argue with each other, their friends know that they have mutual crushes. Izzy competes in an exhibition match against Rodney (Patrick Johnson Jr.), his classmate and the neighborhood bully, and wins using strategy and focus, giving him a chance to go to the Golden Gloves.

Isadore 'Izzy' Daniels ( Corbin Bleu) is a star boxer in Brooklyn, hoping to win the Golden Gloves, like his father and coach Kenneth ( David Reivers).
