Rope size is determined by standing on the center of the rope with both feet and extending the rope ends to the hands held at the “armpit” level. There should not be handles on the ends of the rope.

Allow students plenty of time to practice these skills.
Hold one hand near midline of body, the other parallel and approximately 12” in front of body.
