Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
Generally all of the conditioning exercises you do at practice are good for at home....All that stuff is pretty obvious so I won't go through it all.....
But for jumps I recommend doing this...I can't remember the name of the muscle I think it's like hip flexers or something to that effect....
Sit on the floor with your back straight up and with your legs spread apart as far as you can, try and get it as close to where you would want them to be in a toe touch jump as possible. Then slowly in a controlled motion lift one leg off the ground about 5 inches...do three sets of 12 and move to the other leg. This helps when you're doing your jump for you to be able to whip your leg up as high as you can as fast as you can. And it doesn't just help with toe touches it will also help with right and left herkies.
Sorry if it's confusing it's a little hard to get the point across with text alone. Good luck.

I used to be a cheerleader. So heres some advice. :]
Each night sit in front of the tv in a split. Going as far down as you can go. I'd say 5 minutes each leg and 10 in the middle. Also, sit on the ground with legs locked straight in front of you and touch your toes for 5 minutes each night. Another important thing is to strengthen your core which is your back and stomach. Try getting in 4 sets of 25 sit ups, and lay on your back and lift your legs 6 inches of the ground and hold it for as long as you can. Lastly, push ups are important as well. Try doing 2 sets of 25. All of these things should help get your jumps higher because all of these muscle groups are needed for high jumps. Hope I helped :]
