I had a friend who played basketball with me who had the highest vertical leap I've ever seen. I'm 5'10 and she was 5'4 and could almost jump higher than I could.
She told me that every night, she'd stand on the very edge of her last stair. She'd have only her toes on the step. Then, she'd let her heels lower, lowering her whole body an inch or two, then she'd push up with her toes, lifting herself up an inch. She did that 20x every night. I started doing it and it definitely helped. Just go slowly because you don't want to pull anything.

You have to improve your leg strength and increase the fast twitch muscles. Sprinting uphill is a good way to do both. You can also do squats with a light barbell to increase leg strength or do leg curls with a weight bench. Practice jumping over and over too. Stand next to a wall and jump up with one arm extended. Mark where you touch and try jumping past that mark each time.

Improve the muscles you need to use to jump.
Do squats...
Or you can squat down and jump as high as you can...repeate that for 10x3 times a day

Ask your coach on how to improve it. Thats why he is the coach, they are supposed to help you and develop your skills. Its hard tyo say how to improve, if no one can see how you do it. Good Luck.
