Help me give my students the knowledge and discipline of learning how to jump vertically so students can challenge one another, or work on their personal fitness!

My Project
I am requesting a vertical jump test for students to see their growth in fitness throughout the semester. Currently, students are using a board on the wall that has inches measured out. Although effective, it is not the safest option for testing. I would like for our students to get a true measurement so they understand how to do the activity when they get into high school. This will make a difference in their learning because they will be able to visually see their growth - instead of just relying on our word.
My goal for this project is to have students fitness tested 3 times a semester.
They currently already do 6 other tests. This would add one more test that I believe a lot of students are passionate about. Since students would be passionate about it, it would help with self discipline and growth in their fitness routines throughout the semester.
What makes my students special is their ability to make goals. Their goals are set at the beginning of the semester, and more times than not they accomplish their goals. We create a class that is fitness-based, and students enjoy seeing their growth.
