Average Vertical Leap?!
Question: I am 14 years old and my vertical leap is 26"-26.5". Is that a good amount. I was also wondering if you can give me some exercises that I can do to increase my vertical leap. Also how much increase will I notice per month.

26" is a solid vertical especially for your age. I'm 17 and have a 31" vertical and it was one of the highest on my high school football team.
As far as exercises go, plyometrics are extremely helpful with explosion and speed. Look up some plyo exercises and try them out. You should see very good results if you do them properly and work hard at it. Good luck.
i think my verticle leap was 26 when i was 14 as well. i dont kno what would be considered average but thats probably above. I was able to dunk with a 26 inch vert but i am 6'2 and have fairly large hands...some nba players have verticals in the 40's thats pretty sick
