Discover Your True Vertical Jump Potential…FAST!
Rise Above the Competition!
Our 12 week Vertical Jump Training Program in Colorado Springs is designed specifically for athletes who want to develop greater jumping ability through focused, progressive training. We are not simply interested in helping you touch a higher point on a wall. We want to help you become more explosive, more powerful, more coordinated, and more confident when you leave the ground.
The program combines athletic development principles with purposeful jump training to help athletes build the physical qualities necessary for a stronger vertical leap. And it starts with understanding where you are today.
Every athlete receives a FREE Performance Assessment.
Your Vertical Jump Is About More Than Height
When athletes talk about jumping higher, they often focus on the final measurement. How many inches can you add? How high can you reach? Can you finally dunk?
Those goals are exciting, but vertical jump development involves much more than the number of inches you gain. A powerful vertical jump requires your body to produce force rapidly. Your legs, hips, core, and upper body must work together. Your nervous system must coordinate the movement efficiently. You need the ability to accelerate upward, control your body through the movement, and safely absorb force when you return to the ground.
That is why effective vertical jump training needs to address the complete athlete. Our 12 week program focuses on developing the qualities that contribute to explosive jumping performance, including strength, power, speed, coordination, body control, and landing mechanics. The result is an athlete who is not simply jumping higher during a test, but developing physical abilities that can carry over into competition.
Develop Explosive Power
Explosive power is at the heart of vertical jumping.
Strength gives an athlete the ability to produce force. Power involves producing that force quickly. That distinction matters. In competition, athletes rarely have unlimited time to prepare. A basketball player may have a split second to elevate for a rebound. A volleyball player may need to jump immediately after a rapid approach. A football receiver may need to explode vertically while battling an opponent for the football.
You cannot always take your time and build up to maximum effort. You have to react and explode.
Our vertical development training is designed to help athletes improve their ability to produce powerful movements while maintaining control and efficient mechanics. Through progressive training, athletes can learn how to apply their developing strength more effectively and move with greater explosiveness. That explosive ability can become one of the most valuable tools in an athlete’s physical toolbox.
Train for a Higher Vertical Jump
There is something incredibly motivating about seeing your jump height improve. Maybe you are chasing your first dunk. Perhaps you want to grab rebounds at a higher point. You may be trying to become a more dangerous volleyball attacker or blocker. Maybe you simply want to know how high your body is capable of going when you train properly. Whatever your motivation, measurable improvement gives training a purpose.
During the 12 week program, athletes work through progressive training designed to improve the physical characteristics associated with jumping performance. Rather than randomly performing jumps and hoping for results, the program provides structure and progression.
Training can focus on developing:
- Lower body strength
- Explosive leg drive
- Hip power
- Rate of force development
- Jump mechanics
- Coordination
- Dynamic movement
- Core stability
- Body control
- Landing mechanics
- Athletic explosiveness
The objective is to help athletes become more efficient and more powerful when they attack the ground and drive upward.
Stronger Landings Matter Too
Jumping is only half of the equation. Every jump eventually comes back down.
That means an athlete who wants to improve vertical performance should also learn how to land effectively. Landing places significant forces on the body. Athletes who repeatedly jump during practices and games need the ability to absorb those forces while maintaining appropriate body positioning and control. Our program therefore emphasizes stronger, more controlled landings as part of overall vertical development.
Learning how to land can help athletes develop greater body awareness and control while preparing them for the repetitive jumping demands of competitive sports. A higher jump is exciting. A powerful jump combined with confident movement and controlled landing ability is far more useful to an athlete.
Why Basketball Players Benefit From Jump Training
Basketball may be the sport most commonly associated with vertical jumping, and for good reason. A stronger vertical jump can influence numerous situations throughout a game. A player with greater jumping ability may be able to compete more effectively for rebounds, contest shots, elevate around the basket, finish above defenders, and create additional separation during certain offensive movements.
For players pursuing the ultimate vertical goal, improved jumping ability can also bring them closer to dunking. But jumping higher is not just about highlight plays. Rebounding is often about who reaches the ball at its highest point. Shot contests require players to elevate quickly. Finishing around the rim can require explosive movement in traffic. Guards, wings, and post players can all benefit from becoming more explosive. Vertical development can therefore contribute to a broader basketball athletic profile.
Volleyball Athletes: Reach Higher at the Net
For volleyball players, vertical ability can directly influence what happens above the net. A higher jump can help an athlete attack from a greater point of contact, potentially creating better angles and additional options when hitting. Defensive players can benefit from greater elevation when attempting to block opposing attacks.
The ability to repeatedly jump and land efficiently is also important. Volleyball is an explosive sport with constant movement, quick reactions, and repeated jumping demands. Athletes need more than one impressive jump. They need the physical capacity to perform explosive movements repeatedly throughout training and competition. Vertical development can help volleyball athletes build the explosive qualities necessary to compete aggressively above the net.
Football: Elevation, Explosiveness and Body Control
Football may not immediately come to mind when people think about vertical jump training, but explosive jumping ability can be highly valuable. Receivers and defensive backs may find themselves competing for a ball in the air. A greater vertical leap can provide an athlete with additional elevation when attempting to make a contested catch or defend a pass. Quarterbacks, running backs, linebackers, defensive players, and special teams athletes can also benefit from improved lower body explosiveness even when jumping is not the primary movement.
The physical qualities developed through vertical training can contribute to acceleration, force production, coordination, and overall athletic explosiveness. That is why vertical jump development should be viewed as athletic development rather than training for one single movement.
Jump Higher for More Than One Sport
Basketball, volleyball, and football are obvious examples, but vertical ability can benefit athletes across a much wider range of sports and activities.
Athletes participating in track and field can benefit from explosive lower body development. Baseball and softball players can develop greater lower body power and athleticism. Soccer players can benefit when competing for headers or developing overall explosive movement. Lacrosse players may benefit from improved jumping and body control during dynamic competition.
Even athletes who participate in sports where vertical jumping is not a primary skill can benefit from developing the underlying physical qualities associated with jumping.
The ability to generate force quickly is useful.
The ability to control your body is useful.
The ability to explode from the ground is useful.
The ability to absorb force and maintain control is useful.
Vertical development brings these qualities together.
A 12 Week Approach to Athletic Improvement
Twelve weeks provides enough time to approach development progressively rather than treating every workout like a maximum effort test. The program is structured around progression. Athletes need time to develop strength, learn movement patterns, improve coordination, increase power, and become more comfortable performing explosive movements. Training should challenge an athlete without simply exhausting them.
That is an important distinction. More jumping is not automatically better jumping. Effective development requires thoughtful programming, appropriate recovery, progressive challenges, and attention to movement quality. The objective is to help athletes become increasingly capable as the program progresses. Over 12 weeks, athletes can work toward meaningful improvements while developing a better understanding of how their bodies produce and control force.
Start With a FREE Performance Assessment
Before you can improve your vertical jump, you need to know where you are starting.
That is why our FREE Performance Assessment is an important part of the program.
The assessment gives us an opportunity to evaluate your current athletic abilities and establish a baseline for your training. It also helps provide direction for the work ahead.
Every athlete brings different strengths and different areas that may need additional development. A younger athlete may need to focus on movement quality and foundational strength. A more experienced athlete may be ready for greater emphasis on explosive power and advanced performance development.
- The goal is to train the athlete in front of us.
- Not an imaginary athlete.
- Not a generic program.
- You.
