My favorite is an overhand sinker. Hold the ball with your pointer and middle finger on the top and your thumb on the bottom and the slots facing your palm. Throw the ball over hand with kind of a football throwing motion bring your two finger snapping over the top. The ball goes much faster than a curve or slider and has a sharp, late drop that fools most hitters. Best when thrown in on the hands. \n\nI also like the sidearm riser. Hold the ball like you would for a curve. Throw the ball with a big, sweeping submarine motion and the ball will rise and break across the plate.

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!

explosion exercises will help your vertical leap. I have heard of an exercise called boxes, the object is to find a stable elevated platform to jump up on such as the first row of bleacher seats from the floor. Be careful while doing this exercise because it is dangerous. Another option which is safer is to practice with ankle weights so your body gets used to the extra weight and then remove the weights for a game and see what happens. \nThe best way to gain hieght is to work witha trainer who can design a program to fit your body size and needs.

Jump rope.  That really helped my vertical jump when I did track N field.  I jumped rope every day.  Watch Nate Robinson in the NBA dunk contest.  he's your height.

Yes sort of.. They're high tops and they stablize your\nankle when you come off a jump. Don't play in low cut shoes\nor you risk messing up your ankles.

1. Set your feet up like you would for an ollie.\n \n2. Place the ball of your front foot toward the middle of the board and slightly below the front bolts.\n \n3. Hit your tail as you would for an ollie, but instead of dragging your front foot up the board, drag it toward the side of the board with a flicking motion. The faster the flick, the faster the flip. It's all in the ankle.\n \n4. Stay over the board as you are jumping and the board is flipping (it's important not to push down on the board once you're up so that it can continue to rise).\n \n5. Let the board hit your back foot once it has flipped completely. This is called catching the flip. Your front foot should not be far behind in getting back on the board, but the back foot usually catches it first. This allows you to control the trick on the way down.\n \n6. Land with your feet as close to the bolts as possible.\n \n7. Do another one.

try doing donkey kicks. that's when you have the gymnast place her hands on the vault and bounces on the springboard kicking her legs as high as she can. this allows her to focus on kicking over while making it easier to focus on straight legs.
