“Single Line” vs “Two Lines” Drills

Written by Scott Berry

Q: What is a Single Line Drill?

A single line drill is a training format where one player is active at a time while others wait in a single line behind them. After completing their turn, the player rotates to the back of the line. This is a great way to focus on individual reps, technique, and consistent rhythm—especially for beginners or for drilling specific shot patterns.

Best for:

  • One-on-one lessons

  • Small groups

  • Focused technical work

  • Limited space

Tip: Want to run a half-court drill on just the Deuce or Ad side?

Select the Two Line Drill version, but do not press “Both.” Instead, select either “Deuce” or “Ad” to keep the drill on one half of the court.

Q: What is a Two Lines Drill?

A Two Line Drill involves players splitting into two separate lines—typically one on the Deuce side and one on the Ad side. The Volley Trainer will oscillate or alternate feeds between both sides of the court. This setup keeps more players active, engaged, and allows for more reps per player in less time.

Best for:

  • Group sessions or clinics

  • Higher-energy environments

Each drill-type includes instructions that tell you where the first player should start, where the line should form, and where to exit safely to avoid crossing paths with incoming shots or other players.

Q: What is a "Cardio" Drill under the filter "Style"?
