Explore our durable, colorful jumping stick sets designed to make learning to jump safe, fun, and immediately rewarding for beginners of all ages.

Why Our Jumping Sticks are Right for Your P.E. Program
Physical education teachers and youth coaches know that teaching a child to use a traditional jump rope can be incredibly frustrating. The complex coordination required to swing a flexible rope while timing a jump often leads to tangles, trips, and discouraged students. Jumping sticks eliminate this steep learning curve. By utilizing a rigid stick with a fixed, semi-rigid arch, the tool holds its shape entirely on its own. This allows the student to easily step or jump over the arch without having to worry about the rope collapsing or losing its momentum. By investing in these institutional-grade stepping stones, you provide your students with a frustration-free way to develop cardiovascular endurance, bilateral coordination, and the rhythmic timing required for future sports success.

Top-Tier Movement and Rhythm Gear
We stock specifically chosen physical education tools to ensure your students experience a smooth progression of motor skills.

  • Jumping Stick Sets (Set of 6): Our premier jumping stick sets are the ultimate tool for elementary and adaptive physical education. Each unit features a 36-inch long baton (the "stick" the user holds) and a fixed 32-inch arch. Because the arch stays perfectly consistent at any speed, students can practice jumping slowly and methodically, building confidence before increasing their pace.
  • Rainbow Color Coordination: To make classroom management easier, these jumping sticks are sold in sets of six vibrant rainbow colors. This allows teachers to seamlessly integrate them into color-coded circuit stations or assign specific colors to different student groups, maximizing organization during busy gym classes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly is a "jumping stick"?
A jumping stick is an educational tool designed to simulate the motion of jumping rope without the difficulty of a flexible cord. It consists of a rigid horizontal baton (which the user holds) and a semi-rigid arch that loops down toward the floor. The user swings the baton to rotate the arch under their feet, making it an excellent beginner tool for teaching rhythm and jumping mechanics.

2. What are the dimensions of the jumping sticks?
Our institutional jumping sticks feature a 36-inch long straight baton for comfortable hand placement and a fixed 32-inch arch. This size is specifically designed to accommodate early learners and elementary-aged students.

3. Why use a jumping stick instead of a regular jump rope?
A regular jump rope requires momentum to hold its shape; if a beginner swings it too slowly, the rope collapses and tangles around their feet. Because the arch on a jumping stick is fixed, it holds its 32-inch shape regardless of how fast or slow the student is moving. This allows beginners to learn the jumping motion at their own comfortable pace.

4. What comes in a standard order?
The jumping sticks are sold as a complete set of six (6). The set includes an assortment of vibrant "rainbow" colors, which is perfect for physical education teachers organizing multi-station circuit training.

5. Are jumping sticks safe for indoor gymnasium floors?
Yes. The materials used in our jumping sticks are designed for standard physical education environments. They will not scuff or damage finished hardwood basketball courts or synthetic gym flooring when used properly.

6. Do you accept school purchase orders for P.E. equipment?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities since 1931. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and physical education teachers can easily submit a formal PO to purchase bulk sets of jumping sticks and other movement gear for their entire department.
