Do some calve raises with a 2 by 4 under your heal. Lift up on your toes. It helps if you have weight on your shoulders. Be aware though you need to work this over several reps over several weeks or you could hurt your calves. Expect some cramping so be ready with ice or what ever you use. I know a short 5'2 guy who could dunk, he trained lower legs to jump higher using this method. 20 reps 3 x once a day for 2 weeks.

I hope this helps with the jumping higher. When my husband played basketball, he would wear ankle weights before a game, then jump up and down. This got his legs use to jumping with extra weight. Then when game time came, and he removed them (he said) he could jump higher .Try this , hope it helps
