December 25, 2009, Newsletter Issue #230: Rope Jumps

Tip of the Week

The lowly jump rope is often overlooked, although it can benefit your team´s performance greatly.

Here´s a plyometric exercise, using jump ropes. Just have two players hold a jump rope about 6" off the ground as they sit on the floor. Then have a third player jump back and forth over the rope for a minute, rest a minute, then repeat twice more.

As the season progresses, you can increase both the height of the rope and the length of time. You´ll see results, and rope is much cheaper than plyometric boxes.
