Level 1 Youth Jump Training Program

Coach Mark Bruce

Every athlete wants to jump higher and eventually dunk a basketball.

So how do you get those type of results?

Yes you need to jump, but you also need to prepare and progress appropriately.

To many times I see young athletes perform plyometric exercises that are to advanced for them, and/or perform to many reps of a jumping exercise.

That ends here!

This program is for youth athletes 10 to 14 years old and minimal equipment is needed.

There are no "strength" exercises programmed where you would need weights. All movements are plyometric, speed, and agility drills so you can perform this program prior to a strength training session.

In this program, you will get 7 training sessions per week for the next 4 weeks.

You will perform movements that will improve your ability to jump in different directions.

If you are ready to JUMP HIGHER then IT'S TIME TO WORK!

FAQs
Whos is this program for?
This program is for athletes 10-14 years old.
Can I strength train?
Yes, perform this program before your strength training session versus right after. You can also perform this hours after or before your strength sessions; just make sure you are rested before this program
Can I do this before or after practice?
Do not do this right after practice because you will have already performed enough jumps for the day. You can perform this program in the am or pm just as long as you have 4-6 hours to recover for your practice.
What if I have knee pain?
Do not perform any movement that causes you knee pain. You should see a doctor if you have any pain
