awarded to a player any time an attack is unreturnable by the
opposition and is a direct cause of the opponent not returning
the ball or any time the attack leads directly to a blocking
error by the opposition. A kill leads directly to either a
point or side-out. When a player is awarded a kill, the player
also is awarded and attack attempt. |

Assist: A player is
awarded an assist whenever that player passes, sets or digs
the ball to a teammate who attacks the ball for a kill. There
are three possible outcomes of a ball that is being
set.
- An

- An assist
error or ball-handling error
- A zero assist.
This occurs when a ball that is set does not lead directly
to a kill or side-out.

| Dig: A dig is
awarded when a player passes the ball that has been attacked
by the opposition. Digs only are given when players receive an

attacked ball and keeping it in play is a dig.
