There are a lot of things you can do to increase your vertical.  In the weightroom do lots of squats and hang clean (you can ask someone in a gym how to do these).  Running up and down stairs (or bleachers) works too.  Try taking the stairs two at a time or hopping up on the left, then the right.  Also JUMP ROPE! That works miricales. Good luck.

Ski as high as you can.\nDo as many flips, twists, gainers, tucks, and summersaults while hanging in the sky.\nAnd.\nTry not land on your face.

Start by standing on a box, or bleacher steps, preferably with another box or platform a few feet in front of you.  Jump off and when you land on the floor, immediately jump up again onto the box or platform.\nThis essentially "pre-loads" your calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus muscles).\nIt's called "plyometrics".  Easy does it at first!\nLook on the web for more plyometric exercises.\nGood luck on your future dunks!

If you're really a pro, your team should have a staff of physicians and trainers to help you, so why are you asking a bunch of cyber strangers?\n\nMy son's trainer has them do jumps where they propel themselves forward, as well as the typical vertical leaping.  You might also want to do some lunges (forward, side and rear) favoring the left, if that's weaker than the right.

What's up bro? All they said above will help you, but please be careful with the leg press... if you put much weight on that exercise, you'll easily shorten your spine, and you would grow up less than if you didn't do leg press...\nHope you smash some rim soon!

do this every day.  stand with your toes on an edge of a stair with some weights in your hands and do calf raises. Until you can't do 'em anymore.  That and play a lot of basketball.

Plie squats are good.  Also leg lifts.  Lay on your side with your legs out straight.  Cross the top leg over with your foot flat on the floor by your knee.  Lift the bottom leg toward the crossed over leg.  You can add a weight on your thigh for more resistance.

Squats are the King of leg exercises, forget the leg press machine if your goal is to increase your vertical jump.  The reason why is that squats use all your lower body muscles at the same time where as leg press just isolates the thighs.\n\nAnother good exercise to develop explosive jumping power would be the clean and also plyometrics (e.g. hopping bounding, 2 footed hops over hurdles etc.).

500 is too many, you are not increasing the muscle enough for the hops you are looking for. Read website below for details on your vertical and what can be done.

stretch become more flexable, make you leg muscels stronger to add height to your jumps, and learn some tumbling like cartwheels and round offs stuff like that

use rockets or inclines...\n\nwhen indoors run to the largest windows, open and jump.\n\nalso when on steep embankments, run down them as fast as you can without snapping your legs off.\n\nwhen using the catapult bar strap on rockets will gain you the height you need.

definately leg lifts.  lay on your back and lift your legs 6 inches off the ground all the while breathing.  that is key.  \n\nanother one is to lay on your stomach and rest your body on your forearms and then lift up.  like a push up but your forearms stay on the flat ground.  put your toes up and hold while breathing for as long as you can.  \n\nstomach cruches are great.  like a sit up, but you only come up half way.

Ask your doctor to refer you to a physical therapist.  They can give you exercises to do to help with your range of motion.
