I didn't really end up training or testing my vertical any more up to the end of last year. I got annoyingly busy with work - definitely could not fit in going to the courts beforehand, or much of anything.
I had a bit more of a chat with some of the coaches down at the athletics track near my house. I got absolutely nowhere with the council to try and have it unlocked - huge waste of time. But, I eventually sweet-talked my way into paying a small fee to be able to use the track (and gym) there any time Mon - Thurs. Weekend access would be sweet but I might need to invest a bit more time there to ask about that.
The other interesting thing, unbeknownst to me, is that each Thurs at 7PM, year-round, the club run a competition, with a sprint (60-100m) and long sprint (200-400m) each week, for just $1 entry. Had I known that, I would have been down there each week, but the old fellas who run this place aren't particularly web-savvy, and their website is completely unhelpful. Anyway, near the end of last year and this year, I've gone down for a run, because I can also get a lot of jumps in at the long jump pit. I still have pretty decent speed thanks to staying fit and also from power-training: ran a 11.95ht 100m and a 7.7ht 60m over the last few months. I nearly strained my calf trying to run a 300m, so I have lost some endurance in that regard, but that's not surprising.
I cancelled my gym membership, because I can squat at the gym at the track 1x/week, and that's all I was really using the gym for. It's an ancient gym, but it has everything you'd need. Otherwise, I can do banded goblet squats at home with weight plates for assistance work, and get lots of jumps in 2x/week at the track.
I like the vert comp idea that Coges came up with (as I was doing that for the last year and it's good motivation), so my plan is to basically keep doing what I was doing, but with a bit more sprinting (just a bit, not enough to get distracted - although I would like to keep sprinting as something I could do as I get older). I want to get my running VJs up again to have a few shots at dunking at the courts when I get the chance. I might really get my act together and draw out a yearly plan with phases, as I like to do, but so much of it is contingent on bloody work. I don't want to get to the weekend warrior level, but I can definitely see how it happens. Work will consume your existence if you don't make a big effort to keep up other activities (it's happened to most of my friends now).
