Single-Leg Landing Progression (Basketball)
Single-leg landing progression for basketball builds controlled one-leg hops after bilateral basics—critical for cuts, layups, and ACL-safe return.
Single-leg landing progression for basketball moves from small step-down holds to forward and lateral hops only after pain-free double-leg stick landings. Cutting and layups land on one leg—train frontal and sagittal control with mini hops, not max distance early.
Stop when hip drop or knee valgus appears. Post-ACL athletes follow clinician hop criteria before open single-leg plyometrics.
