Volleyball Hitting Percentage Calculator
Calculate volleyball hitting percentage from kills, errors and attempts.
About Volleyball Hitting Percentage Calculator
Subtracting errors from kills means the metric can be negative, unlike most percentage statistics. A hitter with equal kills and errors scores zero regardless of volume. Because errors are penalised as heavily as kills are rewarded, the metric favours controlled attacking over high-risk hitting.
Formula
Volleyball Hitting Percentage
Hitting percentage = (kills − errors) ÷ total attempts
- kill
- An attack that directly wins the point
- attack error
- An attack that directly loses the point
