Jump N Jam Evaluation Tipsheet

August 27, 2022 | Hernando, MS | Leslie Toole

The Jump N Jam Evaluation Showcase was a new venture hosted by DPR Events. The event was ran in a combine styled fashion. Players had their measurements taken; they were tested for speed and agility attributes, Click link to see Chart Agility Test Chart

Jump N Jam tested and evaluated young ladies in grades 7-12. There was great talent at the event; however, our Tipsheet can only reflect a few stand out performances. Unlike most other events, EVERY PLAYER was evaluated. All parents were given access to their child's Player Profiles with the notes on their child.

The Player Profiles were noted with four (4) items. 1) an overview of what was observed; 2) Strengths & Weaknesses; 3) Growth & Development; and 4) Player Rating

Here are a few players that we felt stood out. They will are listed in alphabetical order.
