Some reccommend strength shoes, however, they do very little if anything to improve one's vertical. In fact, because of the unnatural distribution of weight, it can cause faulty motor patterns to be developed, as well as overuse injuries. The majority of power when jumping comes from the hips and trunk. This is where having strong hamstrings, glutes, low back, and abdominal muscles come into play. Not only should you have some good strength in these muscle groups, but use varying speed of movements to develop forms of strength such as speed-strength and strength-speed.
There is a distinct difference between plyometric action (which occurs with all running and jumping activities) and plyometric training which is a specific system of training. Simple jumping drills like jump rope, bounding, etc. are not true plyometrics. They are considered supplementary forms of plyometrics as true plyometric training relies on a significant eccentric action to take place before the jump. This is the whole idea behind using techniques like depth jumps. What basic jumps like those mentioned accomplish is proper foot contact and strengthening of the soft-tissues before more significant loads are stressed. I also recommend being able to squat 1.5 - 2 times your own bodyweight before undertaking true plyometric training. The reason is the huge eccentric forces the body experiences during these jumps are so much greater than anything else the body can be placed under. So, it should be obvious a significant amount of strength in compound movements should be built before true plyometric training is performed.
There is no fast way to improve your vertical. If you work hard at it and stregthen the muscle groups stated above, I'm almost certain you'll see results. Hope this helps.

Try skipping rope for a long duration of time to develop your leg muscles. After you can skip singles of about 500 revolutions in a row, you should be ready to skip doubles (two revolutions of the rope with every skip). Doubles and triples requires a higher jump.
If you are serious about getting height, skip using only one leg for 20-50 revolutions of singles at a time. You'll see that you will have significantly lower height than using both legs. Using single leg skipping will increase your height when you use two legs!

Jump rope and jogging helps to improve your jumping and leg endurance. If you want to rebound, you must know the best position to rebound.

I just strap on my leg weights and try to touch the rim. I almost always touch it because im 6 feet. The leg weights are good for fast results.

Go find a back alley doctor to break your legs and then set them a couple inches longer.Eventually it might heal to where you could actually walk and jump without shattering your newly aquired legs.
