Lunge Jumps

The player will go into a lunge position, from that position they are trying to jump straight up in the air.

In the air, the player will switch the foot position, so that when they land they will be in a lunge position.

Box Jump / Depth Jump - Turn and Jump again

Find a flat platform that your players will easily be able to jump onto and then have a controlled landing when they jump off of it (a gymnastics vault box is ideal as the height can be adjusted for the level of your players).

Once the player is on the box, they should turn around, step off the box and then, as they hit the ground, jump as high as they can off of both feet.

Backboard Touches

The player will stand just in front of the backboard(to the side of the rim).

The player will jump and reach out with both arms to try and touch the backboard. Once the player lands they will jump straight back up.
