Depth Jump

The depth jump is a plyometric drill performed from an elevated platform about one foot tall, where the athlete steps off and rebounds immediately on landing to achieve maximal vertical height.

Coaching notes

Step off an elevated platform approximately one foot tall. As soon as both feet make contact with the floor, immediately rebound and explode upward for maximum vertical height.

Key points

  • Step cleanly off the platform without jumping upward
  • Minimize ground contact time upon touchdown
  • Explode vertically with maximal intent immediately upon impact

Common mistakes

Jumping off the platform instead of stepping down, or collapsing into a deep squat that prolongs ground contact time.
