ok so i know of the normal jump drills like legs lifts, circles, and holds in straddles, kicks, and frog jumps but i'm looking for more that i can do at home.

The other day at practice we did these drills where you sit in your straddle and then do your jump but sitting on the ground? Idk if that makes any sense at all but you do like the arm movements and then on the count you would normally hit your jump you lift both of your legs.. it was to help us see exactly where our arm placement should be and how to roll our hips to get an overextended toe touch.
Hopefully that makes sense? haha
My coach calls these "straddle snaps". It works your core strength and flexibility at the same time.
- Lay on the ground with arms in a "T"
- Lift your legs to the ceiling so your body is in an "L"
- Snap your toes to the ground behind your head
- When toes touch the ground, snap right back up to the "L"
*butt stays on the ground, so that your whole back is flat on the floor!
*if your toes can't touch the ground without bringing your butt up, just go as far as you can
Last year we did at least 50 of these every practice, and our jumps showed great improvement.
