Coach Dan

Coach Dan Speaks:

Jumping is an essential basketball skill and lunge step jumps can help you improve your vertical leap in order to make the most of it. This move consists of getting into the lunge position, gathering your feet and then jumping up while alternating them in a flow, which will help you gain great height. This exercise should be done with caution though, as without proper form and technique it could be possible to do more harm than good. With practice and perseverance, this basketball drill can greatly increase your leaping ability and make you a better player on the court.
