my gym is really big on jump kicks. We will do 3 sets of kicks for each jump (toe touch,pike ex) and then will do the jump three times in a row. It helps us train our jumps so we can do them well even when we are tired like in a routine.

There is a free app...Cheer RX that has some great workouts for each jump

My team is also big on the kicks, as well as doing jumps with 5 8 counts of squats in between to build strength and get them used to jumping with good technique even when they are tired! :)

Our team used to do straddle circles- They hurt, but they are also very effective!

We always sat in a straddle and did leg lifts on each side then in the center and also in a pike position. Starting with 5 of each then 8

I'm big on leg kicks but with a pause and swing through. They lift their leg rather than kick squeezing their muscles and learning what it's like . You can do them not holding on to soemthing or holding a t motion.

Using ankle weights can really help with jump height :)
