Junior Jump Box

The Gymnastics Direct Junior Jump Box is a safe, soft, and versatile plyometric jump box designed specifically for children aged 3 to 12. Whether you're running a kindy gym program in a daycare centre, coaching recreational gymnastics at a school or club, or building a home training setup for a young athlete, the Junior Jump Box delivers three adjustable height settings in one durable, child-friendly piece of soft play equipment.

The Junior Jump Box features three height settings of 15cm, 30cm, and 45cm, allowing educators, coaches, and parents to adjust the challenge level to suit the age, size, and ability of each individual child. At 15cm it's accessible for the youngest and least confident movers; at 45cm it presents a genuine athletic challenge for older, more capable children. This progressive design makes the Junior Jump Box a long-term investment that grows with your program and your athletes — one piece of equipment that serves a wide age range from toddlers to tweens.

Plyometric training (the practice of explosive jumping, stepping, and landing movements) iis one of the most effective ways to develop power, agility, coordination, and athletic fundamentals in young children and growing athletes. Unlike traditional wooden or steel plyometric boxes, the Junior Jump Box is constructed from soft PVC vinyl and sponge foam, making it safe and forgiving for children who are still developing their confidence and technique. There's no hard edge, no risk of impact injury from a missed landing, and no rough surface — just a safe, padded platform that lets kids focus on moving, jumping, and having fun.

Its unique octagonal shape sets it apart from standard square jump boxes, providing multiple approach angles that encourage children to jump, step, and dismount from different directions. At 15kg it is sturdy and stable during use, and the smooth PVC surface wipes down easily, making it a practical and hygienic choice for shared childcare, school, and gymnasium environments.

The Junior Jump Box comes with a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing faults, giving you added confidence in your purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is the Junior Jump Box suitable for?
The Junior Jump Box is suited to children aged 3 to 12, making it one of the most versatile pieces of soft play and gymnastics training equipment in the Gymnastics Direct range. Its three adjustable height settings mean it can be used safely by young toddlers at the lowest setting, right through to older children and recreational gymnasts at the highest.

What are the three height settings on the Junior Jump Box?
The Junior Jump Box offers three height settings — 15cm, 30cm, and 45cm — allowing you to adjust the difficulty level to suit the age, size, and ability of each child. Start younger or less confident children at 15cm and progress them upward as their strength, coordination, and confidence develop.

What training and activities can the Junior Jump Box be used for?

Why is the Junior Jump Box safer than a standard wooden plyometric box?
Unlike traditional wooden or metal plyometric boxes, the Junior Jump Box is constructed from soft PVC vinyl and sponge foam.
