The 17-Sprint Drill
For the 17-sprint drill, you begin on the sideline and sprint to the opposite sideline. You repeat the drill for a total of 17 sprints.

We do this in our practices.They are called sweeet-sixteens, they are really hard but pay off in the third quarter when you are running over the other team.

At 10 and 11, I wouldn't recommend doing too many. It's good to introduce them to drills such as this, but by NO means should you overdue it. Basketball should be 90% fun at this age, 10% work. So use drills like this in moderation.
