What are the best drills or exercises for basketball strength training?

First have them wear ankle weights during conditioning periods in practice. Then work on upper body strength with medicine balls and pull ups/chin ups.

From my experience coaching kids from 7-12 years old, I would say jogging/sprinting for endurance, push-ups, ball passing drills, high-knees to lateral movement to provide overall workout which is fun.

I would say more flexible strength training and muscle endurance like running plus a lot of leg work like squats and calf lifts.

A good drill for kids to do is dribbling up and down the court with two balls, one for each hand.This really helps with dribbling skills.
