Six-week Vertical Jump Development Program in Williamsport, MD & Chantilly, VA
The Elite Vertical Academy (EVA) at True Athlete Performance is a six-week program focused on developing vertical jump, lower-body power, and proper jumping mechanics.
Designed for athletes in grades 6–12, EVA combines hands-on coaching, performance testing, advanced technology, and focused jump training.
Explosiveness is a Skill and Can Be Taught
Jumping ability is not just natural ability. It is a skill that can be developed and improved with the right training.
EVA teaches athletes how to jump higher by focusing on proper jumping mechanics, force production, and movement efficiency. Athletes receive hands-on coaching and technical feedback to develop more effective jumping and landing mechanics.
A Proven System for Vertical Development
1. Test
Athletes begin with performance testing using OVR and Vertec technology to establish an objective baseline across different areas of jumping performance.
Testing includes:
- Vertical Power: Standing vertical jump
- Reactive Strength: Reactive Strength Index (RSI)
- Ground Contact: Ground Contact Time (GCT)
- Approach Jump: Max approach jump and max touch
Testing provides objective data to identify areas for improvement and measure progress.
2. Analyze
Our coaches use performance data and video analysis to identify strengths, areas for improvement, and where each athlete needs additional focus.
3. Train
Athletes develop jumping ability through progressive training, hands-on coaching, video feedback, and technical instruction.
Training focuses on:
- Strength and force production
- Power and rate of force development
- Reactive strength and elasticity
- Jumping and landing mechanics
4. Perform
Athletes apply improved jumping mechanics, strength, and power at higher intensities before being re-tested to objectively measure progress from their initial baseline.
