Hello,\n\nI'm not sure if it can help you. But I can find some vertical jump increasing system for you.\n\nThere is one package named "Double Your Vertical Leap".\n\nhttp://tinyurl.com/y8cl68\n\nIt's not cheap. But in the website they even listed a  successful story who increased his vertical jump from 26 inches to 48 inches.\n\nI'm not good at jumping, but I hope it can help you.\n\nHope you can increase your vertical jump.

esay, i play basketball at my high school. first be a good dribbler and a fast runner. also practice on the fakes, they work soo good, like the crossover. dribble between legs. \n\nall you got to do is: \nbe faster than the defender and learn the fakes and tricks. follow these and youll be scoring everytime

I asked my weight training coach back-in-the-day, and he suggested the following exercise regimen.  Go somewhere with those outdoor tables with the attached bench (like in the lunch areas at schools).  Then jump up on the bench, then up to the table, then down on the bench on the far side, then down to the ground.  Turn around, and repeat.  Do this as much as you can, and then work to increase how much you can do it.\n\n(I can't comment on its efficacy, because I'm a lazy punk and I don't play basketball--I just resented seeing people 5" shorter and with an addition 5" less in terms of reach being able to dunk when I could barely touch halfway up the net).

speed drills, dribbling drills, and passing drills.\n\nspeed drills - you run a lot so you get used to the speed that your legs give you and you won't get tired easily in the game. run around the basketball court maybe minimum 5 times and your running speed will increase and gradually become easier for you. Oh and suicides are good too. (If you don't know what that is..its kinda complicated to explain because i've never explain it before...so you'll figure it out or look it up)\n\ndribbling drills (this may help you a lot) -  take the basketball, starting it in your strongest hand and dribble down the court without losing it until you reach the baseline at the other end. then pivet and crossover it to your opposite hand and repeat what you just did. you can also do that by dribbling with your strongest then crossovering it to your weakest around the b-ball court running or walking. \n\ncrossover drills - well, lets say your strongest hand is your right. start out dribbling to up diagonal right. take about three steps and then crossover to your left and go up diagonal left and take another three steps then crossover it to your right and continue the procedure. that'll help your crossover passes hopefully :]\n\npassing drills - just get a buddy and stand a distance away from them then either bounce pass, overhead pass, chest pass, and any other ways of passing to them. You can do that standing still at first. Then, you stand at the left or right side of the b-ball court and your friend stands at the left or right. then, if you or your friend has the ball, you begin running sideways down the court bounce passing it, chest passing it, overhead passing it, etc. all the way until you reach the end of the base line and do that again on your way back switching sides if you please.\n\nHope that helps! Sorry, i had to get that all from memory of the kind of practices/drills that I practice. :]

Depends how old u are, lifting weights really helps, but remember hip, glutes and abs are of the utmost importance.  Of course u need to utilize ur calves but they arent as important.  Of course they have to be strenghened to as does every muscle contribute to your overall vertical.  Another tip is simply to jump.  Try and dunk everyday or touch the backboard on a layup if u cant reach the rim.  Me, im working on jumping off one foot cause I can only jump off of two.  Im really weak off one leg, so im just thinkin how much higher I could jump if I did isometric excersises for'm.  I'm 6ft an can put it down two hands but heres what I recommend.  Jumping programs? visit Dunknow.com, or "the science of jumping", "Air alert,"and"JumpUSA" are meant for toddlers, aye if u find a good program though get back to me.  Good Luck

Building muscle in your legs.  Squats is the best excersise to increase your vertical.  There's a Squat Technique called "Jump Sqaut"  It's basically performing the sqaut with your toes feet 45 degrees outward.  \nAbs is also a crucial part in your vertical.  Alot of people do not understand how much they use their abs when jumping. \nThe last thing I would say, is to buy a Jump Rope.  It's one of the best excersises available for increasing vert.  Just make sure you jump your peak at every jump.  \nHope this helps man.

The first guy who answered was retarded. If you want to get better you must\nA.)Practice your jump shot. Copy Jordan's. You must be able to jump in the air then shoot. That will enable you to do more difficult things like turn arounds, and fade aways.\nB.)Practice your ball handling. It may not always be fun, but unless you are 6 foot 8 you will need superior ball handling skills. You need a crossover and to be able to dribble with both hands.\nC.)Your inside game. The left handed lay-up will give you an edge because you will be able to go left or right. Work on hook shots, and floaters as well. \nD.)You must play people better than you and be willing to get your butt spanked for a while before you will learn little tricks they do and eventually surpass them through practice and hard work.\nE.)You must be in great cardio shape. Which means running a lot. Sprinting makes you faster.\n\n*Here's a little trick. Notice which foot your defender has closest to you and drive in that direction. They have less time to adjust that way. It's less effective to drive the other way unless you're gonna pull up and fade away, or your defender is slower than you.

Well i play varsity basketball and am looking at signing with several schools so here is my advise. First of all contary to poplar belief jumping doesn't come from the calves as much as it does the upper thighs! Don't believe me? try this stand with your feet together and jump straight up with out bending your knees at all. Then try bending your knees and jumping notice the difference? Any ways the best way to add vertical is to do leg squats or just do a lot of jumping . You should try jumping up on to and off of a big box it worked for me. I'm only 6'2 and I can dunk with two hands and even three-sixty at times. Good Luck.

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.

It's a matter of will.  I can't dunk and i'm 5'8, and 21...however, i've played against people shorter than me who've dunked.  all types. I even played with a 5'7 asian guy who dunked on me... just a matter of working on your hops.

well let's look at it this way:  he once jumped OVER a 7-foot (84 inches) man to dunk.  assuming vince is 6'6" (78 inches), let's call the distance from the bottom of his shoes to his groin a little over 3 feet (38-40 inches?).  That would mean he can jump roughly 44-46 inches.  This isn't a vertical leap though, but I would guesstimate that his vertical is around 40-41 inches.

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

lift weights. things like squats and calf raises will help your vertical. Also jumping with weights. Find out how high you can jump then jump with weights until you can reach that with the weights.

u can use u up and under which is a pump fake and then step with your non-pivot under the defender to seal him off, the sky hook always works but u gotta get good at it, increase your verticle and u wont even need moves, u can just let your team shoot it then get the rebound and put it in by just jumping, there's a move that's really risky called the pummel and u are backing down on the defender and u throw the ball around their back with your left hand, get it on the other side of them with your right and put it up because they will b off balance if u do it right.  one more that i know works is just a drop step then a reverse layup on the other side of the hoop since they will b expecting u to just "go u strong" u will usually always get fouled.

You have to be able to palm the ball one handed.  Try dunk a tennis ball or a deflated volleyball see if you can do it.  If you can palm a ball, try not to dunk "down" but rather forward.

Strengthening your legs and their fast-twitch muscle fibers can add inches to your vertical jump. This can help your basketball, volleyball or football game tremendously. \n\nThe Program  \n  \n  Steps:  \n1.   Begin every workout by warming up your muscles and then doing extensive leg stretches. Because you'll be building muscle fibers that are used for explosive activities such as jumping, stretching is of the utmost importance.  \n  \n2.   Jump rope for its excellent cardiovascular conditioning. This step should never be skipped, as it will be an important contributor to your results.  \n  \n3.   Sprint. This builds muscle, which will add to your jumping ability.  \n  \n4.   Run stairs on your toes. Start by running up a flight, one step at a time. Walk down and run back up, taking two steps at a time. Repeat as many times as you can manage.  \n  \n5.   Do sets of elevated jumps (see the next section).  \n  \n6.   Do sets of explosive jumps (see the third section).  \n  \n7.   Do sets of double jumps (see the third section).  \n  \n8.   Rest your legs at least two days a week. Results will come from sustaining the exercise program, not performing it aggressively for a few weeks and then slacking off.  \n  \n  \nElevated Jumps  \n  \n  Steps:  \n1.   Begin by placing a step bench or platform on the ground (many health clubs have a platform for just this purpose).  \n  \n2.   Stand on the platform, then jump backward onto the ground, concentrating on landing softly.  \n  \n3.   Jump back onto the platform immediately, with a bouncing motion.  \n  \n4.   Complete three sets of 10 repetitions. Be very careful when performing this exercise, as there is a potential for injury.  \n  \n  \nExplosive Leg Jumps and Double Jumps  \n  \n  Steps:  \n1.   Position yourself for an explosive leg jump by facing a secure platform and placing your right foot on it.  \n  \n2.   Jump as high as you can, concentrating on exploding off the right leg. Scissor your legs once in the air, then land with your left foot on the platform and your right foot on the floor. Gather yourself and explode upward again, this time off the left foot.  \n  \n3.   Do three sets of 10 repetitions, resting for about 30 seconds to 1 minute between sets.  \n  \n4.   Execute a double jump by jumping as high as possible with both feet from a stationary position.  \n  \n5.   Jump again immediately upon landing, using less effort.  \n  \n6.   Repeat until you've accomplished three sets of 10 jumps each.  \n  \n  \n Overall Warnings:  \n Some of these exercises, particularly stair runs and explosive leg jumps, can cause injury if not performed properly. Your knees, in particular, are especially susceptible.  \n  \n Make sure you thoroughly understand all instructions before attempting the exercises.
