[CallawayGolf23]

im a senior in high school and decided to quit basketball this year and i could dunk, so my friend suggested high jump, my first jump ever today i cleared 5'4" :D not that high but for FIRST JUMP i was so happy

[SkylerNell]

Well everyone is doing it :)

I'm a female and jumped 5'2" (160?)

My sophomore year of high school

[poppunkemoscreamo]

we need a girl highjumpers height.

when i was in 8th grade my best jump of the season was 4-10.

i almost got 5 my sophmore year. now going to get there in 11 grade.

my form is almost as best as it can be always help the yonger kids

[Airsoft4EV3R]

when i was 12 i jump 1.49 at my zones and now can jump 1.54

[CellPhoneWorld1]

I am 12 and I jumped 1"40 at my zones track meet, is that good?

[thealf101]

I'm 13 and I jump 1"25

[SkylerNell]

@thealf101 Good start. Keep working hard to improve, many people level off once in high school, and don't gain much more height

[thealf101]

@SkylerNell im 13 and now i can now jump 1"35 meters

[fribz110]

Lol I love all of you guys sayin ur heights when My best friend is like 5'5" and jumps 6 foot. O btw hes in 8th grade. I come in 2nd to him at like EVERY meet. lol :P

[bbaIlcaps]

when i high jump i can NEVER get the arch of my back and my legs up and no head back. and dont have a coach so no one can help me. iany tips as to try and help me to get the arch?

[poppunkemoscreamo]

@bbaIlcaps hey i do high jump im really good for a girl i can jump 4-10 on a good day. but if you can't get the arch. some drills i do with my team are back flips over the mat we use a big ruber band. or you an streatch your back and do a back bend. if you don't know what that is look it up it's hard to explane. look up videos and look at people's style of high jumping . sorry was long. hope i helped you

[WasteAmerica]

@bbaIlcaps when you jump just look as far behind you as possible and it shood bring your hips up.. stick wit it! =)

[sp517sp]

@bbaIlcaps i have the same problem!! it sux! i have a coach but istill cant arch or get my head back. I would say do some stretches for your back and when you practice high jump make it a priority to put your head back (don't do that in track meets tho cause it could screw you up) just when you have a meet jump how you normally would until you get the head back and learn the arch. If you have ur head back it should help you with ur arch! ;)

[bbaIlcaps]

@sp517sp Ive been trying that. except in practice i can throw my head back and my arm up with my jump, but now my problem is my lower back and butt and feet. every time i go for a pr the bottom of my heel or my butt touches the bar. always!

[quinnbeeloved]

the ability to do a back-flip and a perfect back bend really helps : ")

[Patt1cake3]

NICEEEE

[damiqde6uq]

your run up sux bad

[S3rike]

in high jump is curve running on heels and with tilt.

[aeiou99999]

Stretch with your back on an exercise ball. But don't exaggerate the arch -- it comes with time and it is partly an optical illusion (shoulder and head drop more quickly over the bar when you get more advanced and it looks as if you are arching more.)

[aeiou99999]

I was a hs and jr high coach and this is the right standard for each age if you want to specialize in the HJ

12th grade - at least 6'

11th grade - at least 5'10"

10th grade - at least 5'8"

9th grade - at least 5"4"

8th grade - at least 5'2"

7th grade - at least 4'10"

Subtract one foot for girls at the varsity level but only six inches for 7th-9th.

[JoyfullyEmo]

I've got 2 more inches to reach my age standard. Thanks!

[smbacon]

nice im 10 in above my standard lol 10th grade

[MrUPthere]

I'm a 5 foot 8 white kid in 7th grade and i can clear 5 foot 6. Only bad thing is everyone tells me my back is flat when i go over. Coaches tell me i could get 6 foot 2 if i learned how to arch my back. Any tips on arching your back?!

[TrebleCleffMaster13]

You could try backbends like while you're stretching

[jfontanoza]

agreed.... i like bridges. When i used to jump, i tried to look for the back of the pit. that helped me out nicely

[sharpkill]

@MrUPthere Yeah I have a special technique, when you are about to pass the horizontal pole, you arch your back. -_-

[slayerbat]
