What do you need help with? I would not really choose to perform traditional plyometrics (ie. depth jumps, drop jumps, etc.) for conditioning since they involve high impacts for your joints. It's best to use these plyometric exercises much like strength training exercises. You want to do these for a fairly high intensity focusing on speed, quickness, or height rather than for time or for number of reps. You also do not want to perform plyometrics in a fatigued state or to the point where you fatigue, since the primary purpose is to improve your nervous system's motor unit recruitment, not to improve aerobic or anerobic conditioning. Some exceptions such as skipping rope or doing BW jump squats are plyometric in nature and are suitable for conditioning, but depth jumps and box jump aren't

Is your technical skill strong enough where plyos would make sense? If you are new, you might consider just learning. As you progress and see limitations on your ability or hit a wall, then you can incorporate the right plyo to help you break through.
