its making sure that your players have good technique for jumping (ie make sure that the arms are used for driving upwords and that the chest is up when preparing to jump.), and that it is practised regularly. skipping is really good way to work those muscles that is fun, or jumping beside a wall or fence to see how high you can jump.
