Basically anything to work the muscles that you use when jumping will help, which in short could be done by A LOT of jumping. Try these:
1. Squat down like a catcher at a baseball game. Jump straight up in the air and bring your knees into your chest. TO AVOID INJURY, land on the balls of your feet and back into the same squatting position. Repeat 10-20 times on a regular basis.
2. Similar to #1, except jump back and forth over a chair. Two jumps over the chair is ONE rep.
3. Down-ups: From standing, squat down, kick your feet back into a pushup position, bring your feet back into a squat, stand up. Repeat 10-20 times.
These, combined with the calf workout mentioned already, have worked well for me. I'm in martial arts and it's helped get my aerial kicks higher.
