Make sure you have a great jump. I always tell my gymnasts to play basketball (just shoot the ball, play HORSE). Everyone thinks I'm joking, but the jump is the most important part of a standing BHS. Shooting hoops forces you to jump all the time and it's fun.

JUMPING, JUMPING, JUMPING...other things for leg strength and increased vertical jump...jump roping, bike riding, running, swimming, dance-dance-revolution.

By using your free time (fun time) in an athletic way...you could really help out that BHS. Be as active as possible all the time.
