The best conditioning is lots of basketball. Start with two game sets, and work up to three or four. The fifth graders don't give a lot of challenge, but if that's the highest level you can get, that's the highest challenge you need. The way to maximize the conditioning is to push yourself to always beat the ball down the court on new lead, and always stay even with the next to the last player on new trail.
No one was more out of shape than I was when I started (two yars ago) and I can stay ahead of the ball 90% of the time now in a JV boys game. If I work on timing and positioning this year, and keep doing lots of JV, and then lots of Var after the season is over, I shouldn't have any trouble in the Var games I get next year.
And if I can do it, anyone can!!!
