Volleyball passing percentage is a key performance metric that measures a player's effectiveness in receiving serves and making accurate passes to the setter.

Explanation: This formula gives more weight to higher quality passes while accounting for errors, providing a comprehensive assessment of passing performance.
Details: Passing percentage is crucial for evaluating serve receive performance, identifying areas for improvement, and comparing players' defensive skills. It directly impacts a team's ability to run an effective offense.
Tips: Enter the counts for each pass quality category and total attempts. Ensure total attempts equals the sum of perfect, good, fair, and error passes. All values must be non-negative integers.
Q1: What constitutes a perfect pass?
A: A perfect pass goes directly to the setter's target area, allowing all offensive options to be available.
Q2: What is considered a good passing percentage?
A: Generally, 2.0+ (67%) is good, 2.5+ (83%) is excellent. However, standards may vary by competition level.
Q3: How are passing errors defined?
A: Errors include passes that result in a direct point for the opponent or prevent your team from running an offensive play.
Q4: Should serves that aren't played be counted?
A: Only count passes where the player actually attempts to play the ball. Aces (unplayed serves) are not passing attempts.
Q5: How can players improve their passing percentage?
A: Focus on proper platform technique, reading the server, anticipating ball trajectory, and consistent footwork.
