Organizational / Instructions
This is a paired drill.
Players or Coach will label partners 1 and 2.
Player 1 stands in front of Player 2 - socially distanced - facing the cones.
When whistle blows, Player 1 sprints to line of cones.
Player 2's job is to tell them if they took a step back before running.
Switch over.
Coaching Points
Leaning forward slightly
On the balls of your feet
Eyes up and scanning in front of you
Progressions / Adaptations
Progress: Player 2 stands directly behind Player 1; this creates pressure as Player 1 won't want to stand on Player 2's feet.
Adapt: Slow it down and focus more on the leaning forward aspect.

This is about practicing the landings of netball.
One-Two: Landing on one foot then the other; usually done before a pivot.
