Hi Sydney,
For jumps I would stretch. That's the key. Sit in the middle splits as much as you can. When you're watching TV, when you're hanging out at home, whenever you can. Also, practice your toe touches whenever you can. That's all I can really tell you, is to stretch and practice. Those are the best things you could do! I hope you make the team!
All the best,
Chrissy
