Frequently asked questions
What's a good blocks per set?
Middle blockers average 0.8–1.5+ blocks per set at competitive levels. Above 1.2 per set is strong. Outside hitters and opposites typically see 0.3–0.7 per set.
What's the difference between a solo block and an assisted block?
A solo block is credited when one player blocks the ball back into the opponent's court entirely by themselves, while an assisted block (or block assist) is shared between two or more players who touch the ball together at the net — most stat sheets count a solo block as worth more than a block assist.
