Answer 3

plyometrics ~ jumping over, up to and down from a box(es)

12-24" in height  to gain increase in vertical, speed and explosive power. . . I've personally witnessed an increase of 8 plus inches improvement in an athlete's vertical jump and I use plyos with my track athletes for speed enhancement, explosive power and increasing vertical leaping ability . . .info about plyos are all over the net . . . good luck

Answer 8

i play JO volleyball and these are some things our team does to get our "jumps" up. you probably just need to work on your core and your calfs. Do some calf raises every night. Ankle weights help to. if you wear your ankle weights like you wear shoes it'll help. you should also do some sqauts and lunges. Working on your core really helps in volleyball too. for the core simple sit-up crunch excercises help. Hope i could help.

Answer 9

do jump rope

Answer 10

Do about 75 wall taps every night.  Stand on toes and jump up and down repeatedly reaching as high as you can on the wall each time.  This will help your calf muscles

Answer 11

U can get those weight that go on ur ankles

Answer 12

When you jump, make sure to bring both arms back as you are leaving the ground and then swing them up as you are in the air. Try to think of it like you're holding on to a pole with both hands behind your back, and then bringing it underneath your feet, past your chest, and above your head while you're jumping.

Hope this helps!

Answer 13

Get shoes that enable you to jump higher
