How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the total attacks attempted.
  2. Input the number of kills (successful attacks that ended the rally).
  3. Add the number of hitting errors (attacks directly resulting in a point for the opponent).
  4. Review the Hitting Efficiency (kills minus errors, divided by attempts).
  5. Compare against NCAA benchmarks: elite hitters average .300 or above, while below .100 indicates poor efficiency.

What each result means

Hitting Percentage
Primary offensive metric: (Kills - Errors) / Attempts. Elite: .400+, Good: .300+, Average: .200+.
Kill Percentage
Percentage of attacks resulting in a kill. Does not account for errors.
Error Percentage
Percentage of attacks resulting in an error. Lower is better.
Efficiency Rating (1-5)
1 = Below Average (<.100), 2 = Average (.100-.199), 3 = Good (.200-.299), 4 = Excellent (.300-.399), 5 = Elite (.400+).

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Kills = 15, Hitting Errors = 5, Total Attempts = 40, Service Aces = 3 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Hitting Percentage
    Hitting Percentage
    0.25 = 0.25
  3. Calculate Kill Percentage
    Kill Percentage
    37.5 = 37.5%
  4. Calculate Error Percentage
    Error Percentage
    12.5 = 12.5%
