How to select a Jump Rope
We recommend that you buy a variety of speed rope lengths to offer individual, partner and group activities as follows:
40 |
Single (individual) ropes |
6 pairs |
Long Ropes (16 ft.) |
3 pairs |
Long Ropes (30 ft.) |
For a class of 30-35 students we recommend 40 ropes to accommodate the varying heights of students and to allow additional longer single ropes for partner activities. We suggest a range of 7, 8 and 9 ft. ropes.
Choose rope lengths that will meet the needs of the age and height of the group. We suggest the following:
