  1. jump rope and work out


  2. keep practicing your jump. and you'll get used to it

  3. strengthen your quadriceps muscles, which are located in you thigh, by doing things such as squats and different plyometric exercises. another thing you could do is lose weight overall, so there's less for your legs to lift when you jump.

  4. Here is a program I used to gain 5 inches of vert. jump in HS for basketball.

    1. Warm Up Exercises - always start your exercise with a warm up. Start with a simple stretching of leg and arm muscles followed by a jog that should gradually increase in speed. Warming up will help your body to adjust to the movements of the exercises that will follow much later. Bending your knees up closest to the back of your thigh while standing and keeping your back straight should also be a good warm up exercise for jumping.

    2. Jumping Exercises - Crouch down with your knees up to your chest and your back straight. Then quickly, jump up as high into the air as you can and try to land in the same position as you started. Repeat this exercise until you feel that you have relatively increased your jump. Today, make it an inch higher. Tomorrow perhaps, you should be able to comfortably jump an inch and a half higher. Jumping exercises can also be done by trying to leap and jump over obstacles. However, it should be duly noted that safety precautions such as a padded floor should be ready to break a fall as basketball players are not be gymnasts who have been trained for years to execute clean, high obstacle jumps.

    3. Toe Raise Exercises - Toe raising exercises helps with your balance. It also add strength and precision to your footing and thigh and calf muscles. Try this exercise by standing on flat on your sole and slowly standing on your toes. Once you are comfortable with the exercise, try it with a bit of weights.

    4. Jumping Rope - Most athletes with high jumps recommend jumping rope exercises. Jumping ropes help your sprinting, ankle and calf muscles, preparing these for higher jumps on the court.

    5. Sprinting Exercises - Sprint are excellent for the ankles, joints and calf muscles. Do 3 sets of 10-40 yard sprints, 3 times a week.

  5. jump the rope that´ll help u or try some basketball, and if ur short both rope and basket´ll help

  6. jump rope and strengthen your legs
