Single Leg Vertical Jump

Coaching cues

• Stand tall on one leg with the other knee slightly flexed and arms by your sides.
• Engage your core, keep your chest up, and align the stance knee over the toes.
• Hinge slightly at the hips and dip into a quarter squat to load the leg.
• Swing the arms upward and drive through the whole foot, extending hip, knee, and ankle to jump vertically.
• Lift the non-jumping knee up as you reach maximal height while keeping the torso neutral.
• Land quietly on the same leg with a soft knee and hip, absorbing the impact through hip–knee–ankle.
• Reset balance and repeat for reps, then switch legs. Keep the knee tracking over the toes and avoid valgus collapse.
