stretching

Hey everyone, I tried to search for posts on this but didn't have much luck! I recently joined an adult rec team for fun and am flying. However, I've never flown before and I'm definitely on the heavier side (130 pounds). I know weight doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things but...

What conditioning and stretching do you do when you have a knee injury? I danced for many years and would tough it out or take long breaks, but I tore my meniscus for the second time two years ago and now it is more prone to tears. I train Krav Maga also, and ended up with a small tear 2 weeks...

Does anyone have a good stretching routine they use for their squad? Looking for something to help increase flexibility. Thanks! :)

I have to throw my sbhs in the opening of our routine. I can throw it by myself but once we add it into the routine, sometimes it hits, but sometimes it doesn't. What can I do to make it more consistant? Are there drills I can do to change this? On a different note, I am in the front for jumps...
