Set up: One third space, any number of players, 2 cones for each player.
Player practice "little feet" and body angles by moving in and out of the two cones they have set on the baseline.
Players move their feet in, out , in, out and then drive stright towards the third line and back.
Players can work in partners and take turns in how many sets they do.
As players fatigue, footwork may start to slacken so be sure to remind them of the actions in and out.
You could add in more cones in the straight run so it becomes more like shuttles and cardio based.

A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
