walking high knees, butt kicks, leg curls while sitting on the couch watching tv, hamstring curls if you are laying on your stomach, ab bicycle kicks or ab pullups would be great for your core.
Anything else is going to be too much, like I don't think you want to hoop in them, unless you have one of those girly %$$ weights like 2lbs or something in which case I say go get a man's weight like 10 and do the above.

Ankle weights will cause water on the knees and weaken ankle ligaments if used improperly so be very careful.

Do strenuous workouts that concentrate on your core. Ankle weights will most likely do more harm than good and I think they would only help you be more explosive but doubt your actual leaping ability would change.
