I spin CW and jump CCW. Just do what feels comfortable.

Agree that you can do both. The woman who won the Gold Ladies Championship event at Adult Nationals spins CW but jumps CCW. Once you get to Adult Gold, the IJS system rewards you for being able to do spins in both directions (they have to immediately follow each other, and I believe it is for sit or camel).
