You are going to need to mix conditioning (core, legs, quads, etc.) with both dynamic and static stretching (dynamic first then go into static).
Flexibility to reach that height + the strength to get your legs actually up there = improved jumps.

Additionally, jump repetition (using correct technique of course) will help if done consistently.
5 of each jump every day

For hurdlers have someone stand in front of you holding a piece of paper and every 3 times u kick the paper have them move it up a little. Also sitting down in a straddle (not the split) then put your arms on each side of one leg and keep lifting it up off the ground (10 times to start out then add 5 every time you feel like its easy) do each leg by itself and then put your arms in the middle and try to lift both! Hope this helps!

I saw this in a cheer extreme video one of the coaches was saying that u can try using ankle weights and make them heavier gradually and then after some weeks u can take them off and ur jumps should be a little higher at the least so that's another jump improver

I would be carefully with weights. I heard that you can hurt yourself with them if you don't use them a proper way.

Watch some of Erica Lins youtube videos! She has some really good flyer exercise routines with weights that I have been doing for about a month! I've actually improved a lot in strength and flexibility and it doesn't even take more than a half hour! She has really good tips too!
