Question
Hello, hopefully you may be able to answer a question about Vertical Leap exercises. Thank you in advance for your time.I work with younger atheletes (6-11 years old) and had a question about vertical leap training. Could you give me a workout of 5 or 6 exercises that would increase vertical leap.We have access to plyo boxs low hurdles (6") and weighted balls 1 to 4 pounds. Thank you

Answer
Hello-
Thanks for the question but unfortunately I have no training with vertical leap training.  I did find a pretty good website that might help you:  http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/Webpages/Health/vertical.html

I hope it helps a little.

Thanks.
