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?

The Junior Jump Box is ideal for plyometric training, conditioning drills, gymnastics skill development, and general movement activities. Common uses include box jumps, step-ups, jump-and-stick landings, vault approach drills, and obstacle course challenges. It is equally at home in a kindy gym circuit, a recreational gymnastics class, a school PE program, or a home training setup.

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. This means any contact with the edge or surface of the box during a missed or awkward landing is cushioned and forgiving; significantly reducing the risk of impact injury and making it a far safer choice for young children who are still developing their movement skills.

What is the octagonal shape for?

The octagonal shape of the Junior Jump Box provides multiple approach angles, allowing children to jump, step, and dismount from different directions. This adds variety to training drills and circuits, and also makes the box easier to position and use in different activity configurations.

What is the Junior Jump Box made from?

The Junior Jump Box is constructed from sponge foam with a PVC vinyl outer cover. It’s soft and safe for young children while being strong and durable enough for repeated daily use in gymnastics clubs, daycare centres, schools, and home training environments.

Does the Junior Jump Box come with a warranty?

Yes. The Junior Jump Box comes with a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing faults, giving you confidence in the quality and durability of the product.

How easy is it to clean the Junior Jump Box?

The smooth PVC vinyl surface is wipe-clean, making it simple to sanitise between uses. 

Does the Junior Jump Box require assembly?

No. The Junior Jump Box arrives ready to use straight out of the box.
