have you tried lifting weights. squats and calve raises will help your jump. jump squats with a lighter weight will help you also.

Face a wall and in your mind put a spot on the wall that is fairly high that you can reach, but have to really try to get....start with 5 min and jump as many times as you can and touch the same area for the whole time. Then take a 30 sec break, and then go at it again for 4 min....keep doing this until you are down to 1 min. I'm 5'1 and this really help me to get a higher vertical. Good luck!

work on ur abs tight abs help u jump higher. Also you should probably jump rope and i mean like a lot it really helps build your muscles in your legs. I am on 2 different teams each year and every practice we always jump rope then i come home and jump rope even more and do sit ups and abs work helps.

take a bigger approach! the bigger ur first step and the quicker ur last two steps the higher i jump and use ur arms to help lift u in the air and also some weight lifting would help too!

the only way to improve your jump is jumping (really) and doing a lot of sit-ups. This is the same for basketball and is what even the NBA players do.

The stomache exercises (sit ups) in the earlier suggestion are a really under valued exercise. Also try plyometrics.
