                  How To Measure Your Vertical Jump At Home

What you will need: 1.A friend to help you

 2. A ladder (if your friend is much taller than you their                                                             may be no need)

 3. A permanent marker or chalk

                 

Instructions:    1. Find a wall or pole tall enough that when you jump  cannot touch the top of it (leave some extra room so you can measure your progress).

2. Stand beside the pole/wall and extend your hand as                                                            high as you can above your head. This is your standing                                                        reach. Have your friend mark this with a piece of chalk                                                         or a permanent marker.

 3. Now from a starting start, jump and touch as high up                                                          the wall as you can. Your friend will need to watch                                                                where you touch so theirs no confusion. Have your                                                              friend climb a ladder and mark where you touched.This                                                      is your jumping reach.

 4. Now measure the distance between your standing                                                            reach and your jumping reach this is your vertical jump                                                     (e.g standing reach = 22 inches jumping reach = 32                                                              inches vertical jump=12 inches)
