A leg glove, or leg mitten, having pockets for the hands of a lifter used when lifting a person who is jumping or being lifted, especially for lineouts in Rugby Union. The leg glove pockets have downward diagonal facing pocket openings. The simple, reusable, easy to use leg glove provides a level of effectiveness, comfort, convenience, and safety not provided by conventional methods. The leg glove is simply made from a single piece of flexible, elastic material, such as neoprene. A fold creates a base layer and a partially overlapping pocket layer. The pocket is secured and held open with a pocket attachment and base attachment forming pocket openings. The pocket openings are configured to face downward on a diagonal. An improved leg glove further comprises a non-elastic base strap. To use, leg gloves are applied to the legs of a jumper. When the jumper jumps, one or more lifters place their hands in the leg glove pockets. The lifters lift the jumper higher, support the jumper in the jump while the jumper attempts to intercept a ball, and safely lower the jumper. In some embodiments, the pocket attachment is shaped like a question mark matching the shape of the inserted fingers, palm, and thumb of the lifter's hand.
