lie on your back with your butt against a wall and spread your legs down so you're in a middle split kinda thing
do your splits for hurdler jumps
pike stretch for a pike
and use these for more (better) stretches and conditioning:

We have always used ankle weights of 2 or 3 pounds on the athletes legs and have them practice their jumps assisted with the weights. It helps in gaining strength to get the legs up quickly.

CP has been using five pound ankle weights to practice her jumps at home. She also stretches often. Something must be working because her jumps are just crazy good right now. Which is saying something because they have traditionally been a little less than good.

ankle weights work wonders BUT they tend to be really bad for your knees.

This website sells a jump progression kit and it comes with what looks like big rubber bands. the work resistance!
Good luck! i hope this helps!

We use ankle weights for jumps and lots of reps.

Ankle weights can be dangerous for knees & hip flexors. They can be used to help, just be careful & educated!
