Try a cho-pat brace or a double cho-pat... if you suffer from patellar tendonitis or jumpers/runners knee it may help the pain. Another important thing is stretching the quadricep muscle both before playing (after warming up) and then after. Losing a couple pounds of weight will help, as will learning how to land to absorb the impact throughout your legs, rather than strictly with your knee.

The last suggestion that I can make is to maintain a weights routine with your legs. Squats, lunges, leg extensions, and lying compressions will help reduce leg pain... I am not sure why - but I have quite a few Physical Therapist friends that have suggested it when I whine about knee soreness and it helped tremendously.
