Volleyball Stats Calculator

Work out six common volleyball stats from your match tallies: hitting percentage, kill %, passing average, side-out %, serve-in % and ace %. Hitting percentage = (kills − attack errors) ÷ total attack attempts, written to three decimals (.300). Results update as you type, and nothing you type leaves your browser. Keeping stats on paper? Use the printable match stats sheet, then enter the totals here.

Type your totals into any card: the result shows a dash until there's enough to work it out, then updates as you type. For what each stat means and how coaches use it, see Volleyball Scoring & Stats Explained.

Hitting percentage

Hitting % = (Kills − Attack errors) ÷ Total attack attempts

Total attack attempts = every swing or tip meant to score: kills + attack errors + attacks the other team kept in play.

Attack errors are attacks hit out, into the net, or blocked straight down for a point. Don't include serving or ball-handling errors.

Outside the US, the same number is often shown as a percentage called attack efficiency: .300 = 30%.

Kill percentage

Kill % = Kills ÷ Total attack attempts

Total attack attempts = every swing or tip meant to score: kills + attack errors + attacks the other team kept in play.

Kill percentage: —

Passing average (0–3 scale)

Passing average = (3 × perfect + 2 × good + 1 × poor + 0 × no playable pass) ÷ total passes

3 = perfect: the setter has every option. 2 = good: the setter has some options. 1 = poor: the setter has only one option, usually a high set. 0 = no playable pass: aced, shanked or overpassed.

This 0–3 scale is a common coaching convention, not an FIVB rule. A 0 is a coaching grade, not a box-score stat: an aced pass also counts as a reception error, but an overpass that stays in play does not.

Passing average: —

Side-out percentage

Side-out % = Rallies won when the other team served ÷ Rallies when the other team served

Side-out % shows how often your team wins the point when the other team serves.

Side-out percentage: —

Serve-in percentage

Serve-in % = (Total serves − Missed serves) ÷ Total serves

Missed serves are service errors: serves into the net or out, foot faults and other service faults.

Serve-in percentage: —

Ace percentage

Ace % = Aces ÷ Total serves

An ace is a serve that scores directly.

Ace percentage: —

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate hitting percentage in volleyball?

Subtract attack errors from kills, then divide by total attack attempts, and write the result to three decimals. For example, (15 − 3) ÷ 40 = .300.

Can hitting percentage be negative?

Yes. If a hitter makes more attack errors than kills, the result is below zero.

What is a good passing average?

On a 0–3 scale, coaches generally treat averages above about 2.0 as solid. Exact targets vary by level, so teams usually track progress against their own numbers.
