A simple 2 by 4, cut to a length of about 3´, can be a great tool in helping develop players´ calf muscles, which are critical to jump reach.

Have the players stand on the 2 by 4, resting on toes only. Then have them bounce up and down, allowing their heels to touch the floor only briefly before bouncing back up. You´ll be surprised how tired players will get after only a minute of this exercise, especially at the beginning of the season, but it will pay off in the long run with higher jumps.

And the price is right.
