Jumping AbilityScore 600–700: Your Next Steps
A Jumping AbilityScore® in the 600–700 band is a mid-range, encouraging result showing your child is building the strength, balance and coordination jumping needs. Next steps are simple: confirm the picture with a clinician, add joyful movement play, and re-measure to watch the trend. A clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre under qualified clinician care.
A jumping score in the 600–700 band is a clear, encouraging signal — your child's gross-motor foundations are taking shape, and now is the moment to keep that momentum going.
In short
A Jumping AbilityScore® in the 600–700 band is a mid-range, encouraging result — it tells us your child is building the leg strength, balance and coordination that jumping needs, and is moving steadily along their motor path. This is not a worry number; it is a planning number. The next steps are simple: confirm the picture with a clinician, weave in everyday movement play, and re-measure over time to watch the trend.Reading the band — what it means
Jumping draws together several gross-motor skills at once: leg power to push off, core stability to stay upright, balance to land safely, and the timing to bring it all together. A 600–700 band suggests these pieces are present and developing, with room to strengthen further. Scores are best read as a trend over time, not a single verdict — a child's motor skills bloom in spurts, and one measure is a snapshot, not the whole film.Your next steps
- Confirm the picture with a clinician — bring the score to a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre so a qualified therapist can see it in the context of your child's age, overall motor profile and play.
- Build movement into everyday play — gentle, joyful practice does more than drills. Hopping over a ribbon on the floor, jumping off a low step into your arms, two-footed jumps to pop bubbles, animal-jump games (frog, bunny, kangaroo) all strengthen the right muscles.
- Re-measure to watch the trend — a follow-up AbilityScore® shows the direction of travel, which matters far more than any one number.
- Note anything that stands out — if jumping is paired with frequent stumbling, low energy, or your child seeming to tire very quickly, mention it at the check.
The Pinnacle way
A clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, under qualified clinician care — never from an app, a form or a single online number. There your child receives a clinician-administered structured assessment and, where helpful, a tailored gross-motor plan through our occupational and physiotherapy support. Learn how the AbilityScore® is calculated, or start at our [home page](/) to explore how support is built around your child.Trusted sources

What to watch
Watch the trend over time rather than one number. Note if jumping comes with frequent stumbling, very quick tiring, low energy, or trouble with other gross-motor play like running or climbing — and mention these at the check.
Try this at home
Turn jumping into play: pop bubbles with two-footed jumps, hop over a ribbon on the floor, or play frog and bunny jumps together — short, joyful bursts build leg strength and balance better than drills.

Frequently asked
Is a Jumping AbilityScore of 600–700 a cause for worry?
No — it is a mid-range, encouraging band that shows your child is building the strength, balance and coordination jumping needs. It is best read as a planning number, not a verdict, and a clinician can confirm what it means for your child.
Should I do daily jumping exercises with my child?
Joyful, everyday movement play helps more than formal drills. Short bursts of jumping games — hopping over a ribbon, jumping off a low step, animal jumps — build the right muscles while keeping it fun and pressure-free.
When should I re-measure the score?
A clinician at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre will suggest a sensible interval based on your child's age and profile. Re-measuring shows the direction of travel, which matters far more than any single number.
