A volleyball player’s offensive efficiency is measured through a statistic derived from kills, errors, and attack attempts. The calculation involves subtracting errors from kills, dividing that result by the total attack attempts, and then multiplying by 100 to express the value as a percentage. For example, a player with 15 kills, 5 errors, and 30 attempts would have a percentage of 33.3%.
This metric provides valuable insights into a player’s offensive contribution and a team’s overall attacking prowess. A higher percentage indicates a more effective attacker, contributing directly to point scoring and team success. While not historically a primary statistic, its use has become increasingly prevalent in modern volleyball analytics, offering a nuanced understanding of offensive performance beyond simply counting kills.
