You should look into plyometric exercises. There should be several websites that list them by sport type. Good luck!

Joey,

I am 5' 11" and I can dunk a basketball because I did plyometrics in high school while I was on the track team. Look into doing a program and your vertical will improve by leaps and bounds. If you want you can email me directly and I can give you some specific exercises that may help you.
