Depth Jump Leap

Technique

How to perform Depth Jump Leap

1. For this drill, use two stable boxes or benches: one below knee height for the drop and one around knee-to-mid-thigh height for the landing.
2. Stand on one of the two boxes with arms at the sides; feet should be together and slightly off the edge as in the depth jump.
3. Place the other box approximately two or three feet in front of and facing the performer.
4. Begin by dropping off the initial box, landing and simultaneously taking off with both feet.
5. Rebound by driving upward and outward as intensely as possible, using the arms and full extension of the body to jump onto the higher box.
6. Again, allow the legs to absorb the impact.
