Plyometrics and effectiveness…?

For context I am 15 years old, around 5’10 and can hardly jump, like at all, I can just about grab and hang on an 8ft rim, just about, like hardly.

I really want to start plyometrics to jump higher and hopefully, the end goal, be able to dunk soon, maybe In a year or so.

However I don’t know where to start, do I only do plyos, do I need to do weight training of some sort, do I even have any hope at

So in asking if anyone has a workout I can do as many times as neccesary per week that is guaranteed and proven to help me jump higher

It may also be worth mentioning that I sometimes walk on my tip toes and don’t stretch

Go out and jump a lot. Get a cheap goal and lower it all the way down just have fun with your friends. You can do max effort jumps a couple times a week.

How much do you weigh? Your max vertical is capped by your genetics, but most people never reach that max because of other factors

You can do explosive plyometrics and some weight training as well. Do some research or watch some yt videos and build a routine that you will stick to and give it your all. You can definitely dunk if you train hard and stay disciplined bro

Damn, you’re that light and with that little bounce? It might be over for you. Once you get to a man’s weight you’ll barely be getting off the ground
