Drive more often. Work on your jumper... Drive more often.

There are special shoes, with a raised platform on the toe area, that can help. They basically just keep your heels off the ground, so you have to walk around on the balls of your feet. If you can't afford them, find something about 2 inches thick, a little bigger around than your fist. Duct tape it to the bottom of your shoe, so that it is on the front part, making it so your heels will be off the ground. Walk around in these for about 6 weeks and your jump will increase dramatically.

The best advice I ever read on this was "...to jump higher, you need to jump more". \n\nSimply stated, he was saying that the muscles that give you lift when you leap are best developed by repeated use.  Select something at your home that's just a bit too high for you to leap and touch (like a tree limb or a high ceiling).  Then try to jump and touch it 20-30 times per day.  When you finally do reach it, move on to something higher.  \n\nKids who are addicted to basketball LIVE for that first dunk.  It usually comes around age 16-18 unless they're truly gifted (AND tall).  You'll see them on the schoolyard trying to dunk, convert alley-oop passes, and sky for rebounds, for hours at a time...every day.\n\nPractice, practice and MORE practice.

do your approach over and over... and wall squats... they're not fun but they help SOOO much... your quads help amazingly in jumping... and building them up will help out your vertical... believe me... i needed to build up my vert.. and i did mostly these two things and it went from 18 to 23 inches

Do power jumps. Setup a few levels that total in height 3 to 4 feet. Then in each hand hold 5 pound weights and jump on top of these levels, then step down. Repeat this for about 30 minutes. Next, go to the gym and work on your calf muscles. Using the calf machine will make your calves stronger. Don't over do it, you want to have lean muscles, not heavy. Then go the machine that works out your legs. I ts the one where you lay on your back and you lift the weights with just your legs and feet. The goal is to get explosive jumping. If you can beat a guy to the rim by jumping faster, then it doesn't matter how high he jumps.\n\nHave fun.

Yep good answers.  I also jumped rope to increase my vertical when I trained for the high jump.  Worked really well.

Back in the day, i bought this program on how to reach a vertical leap of 12-48 inches higher..guaranteed. Here's what the first week looked like in the program.\n\nJump as fast as you can..basically bouncing on ur toes for 1 minute straight.\n\nJump as hard as you can..and as high as you can 20 times.\n\nDo lunges 30 reps\n\nThen on the 8th week, it looked like this..bounce on ur toes for 10 minutes straight as fast as you can\n\nJump as hard as you can 200times! 40 reps in sets of 5.\n\n300 Lunges..10 sets of 30.\n\nI made it up to the 8th week! But the program was 12weeks.\n\nI did add a foot and a half to my vertical leap. Before I could grab the middle of the net..now i can dunk! n im only 5'10.\n\nDo lots of Jumping excercises..power excercises..such as powerful jumping like i explained. n increase every week or two. ur muscles get used to that, and it teaches ur muscles what muscles to use for when you want to jump high.\n\nIt worked for me, just do lots of Jumping excercises. The power will come from your thighs/hamstring/butt/and calves.

In addition to what James said, I'd incorporate jump training.  Find (or build) something sturdy about 30" high.  Squat down, then jump on it.  Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps.  When it gets easy, increase the height.  \n\nThere is a corrolation between vertical leap and quickness.  High concentration of fast twith muscles and lower weight will result in quicker running and quicker moves, both forward/backward and laterally.

u have hops my friend.  u nee to get 6 inches above the rim to dunk though.  try doing lunges wit hdumbells or frog jumps.  these strengthen legs without adding extra bulk.  just hit the gym and stay in shape.

try working on your abs, this will allow you to get your legs up higher...maybe try jumping on a trampoline also. it doesnt have to be big, i have a small one and my jumps have improved a lot! also work on arm strength for the back handspring..just work hard at it! and once you get it you'll have it. just practice. trust me! :) k well i hope it helps.

Sorry there’s nothing to do now.\nThe development begins with the birth and reached its apex during the adolescence time.\nDuring that time, physicians can intervene with some specific drugs (hormones) with a fairly possibility to increase a bit the height. During that time, some specific sports (swimming, volley, etc.) can help too.  \nNow your skeleton and bones have already reached their max length and fixed definitively.  \nOnly a miracle could satisfy you!

You can't really control your height because your genes determine how tall you will be and you can't change your genes. But if you want to stay in shape and be healthy, you have to exercise and any type of exercise will be ok. I heard that playing basketball can make you grow taller. I don't know if that is true. But you can try it and see.

You physically cannot!\nYou stopped growing long ago!\nGet some shoes with lifts in.

There are no stretches to increase height.\n\nTo increase height, your bones have to get longer.\n\nStretching deals with muscles not bones. \n\nYour height is determined by your genes. There is nothing you can do to change that. Put your energy somewhere else.
