In track practices in college we called it "stiders" - really exaggerated (height) skips and steps to increase our stide length...basically the same as jumping practices...the jumping program I did involved (surprise) jumping...jump 25 times in a row on left leg only (as high as possible), then 25 times on right leg only, then 25 times on both legs, and then repeat the whole process again - if you still can jump...two or three sets of that 3 days per week, along with the squats and calf exercises listed above, will have you jumping higher in a matter of weeks...
