Key Volleyball Metrics
Attack Efficiency Eff
Net attacking efficiency accounting for errors. Elite is .350+, good is .250+. Variables: Kills = Points scored, Errors = Attack errors, Attempts = Total attacks
\text{Eff} = \frac{\text{Kills} - \text{Errors}}{\text{Total Attempts}}
Attack Error Percentage AE%
Percentage of attacks resulting in errors. Lower is better; under 15% is good. Variables: Attack Errors = Attacks hit into net/out/blocked, Total Attempts = All attacks
\text{AE\%} = \frac{\text{Attack Errors}}{\text{Total Attempts}} \times 100
Kill Percentage Kill%
Percentage of attack attempts resulting in kills. Elite hitters are 40%+. Variables: Kills = Attacks resulting in points, Total Attempts = All attack attempts
\text{Kill\%} = \frac{\text{Kills}}{\text{Total Attempts}} \times 100
Kills Per Set K/S
Average kills per set. Primary attacking volume metric. Variables: Total Kills = Attack points, Sets = Sets played
\text{K/S} = \frac{\text{Total Kills}}{\text{Sets Played}}
Points Per Set Pts/S
Average points contributed per set. Includes kills, blocks, aces. Variables: Total Points = Kills + Blocks + Aces, Sets = Sets played
\text{Pts/S} = \frac{\text{Total Points}}{\text{Sets Played}}
Block Error Percentage BE%
Percentage of block attempts resulting in errors (net violations, etc.). Variables: Block Errors = Net touches, centerline, etc.
\text{BE\%} = \frac{\text{Block Errors}}{\text{Block Attempts}} \times 100
Blocks Per Set B/S
Average blocks (solo + assist) per set. Good blockers are 1.0+. Variables: Total Blocks = Block kills, Sets = Sets played
\text{B/S} = \frac{\text{Total Blocks}}{\text{Sets Played}}
Solo Blocks Per Set SB/S
Average solo blocks per set (no assist). Measures individual blocking. Variables: Solo Blocks = Single player blocks
\text{SB/S} = \frac{\text{Solo Blocks}}{\text{Sets Played}}
Dig Efficiency Dig Eff
Percentage of dig attempts that result in playable balls. Variables: Good Digs = Digs allowing offense, Dig Attempts = All defensive plays on attacks
\text{Dig Eff} = \frac{\text{Good Digs}}{\text{Dig Attempts}}
Dig Percentage Dig%
Success rate on digging attacks
Dig% = Successful digs / Dig attempts
