The original and most simple method for measuring vertical jump height is against a wall. Although you can use just any wall and a piece of chalk in the hand, there are also other wall mounted grid options. See a procedure for using the wall method.

Below are some examples of wall mounted apparatus for the measurement of vertical jump. See the discussion and list of other measurement methods.
