KPIP measures (as you could guess from the name) the number of kills on all points in play in all matches of the season. It removes points on serves (aces or errors) because those points were never in play, the point ended with just the serve.
We are working on more advanced metrics for the sport of volleyball to bring you a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the sport in the same way we cover other sports. It is taking time to dig up and parse out these metrics but rest assured, they are coming!

Don’t forget to follow us on social media to get the latest information on the cool stats and info we are cooking up. We try hard to shine a light on DIII athletics and give student athletes a chance to have their name “up in lights” as much as possible.
If you have any ideas for content or something you would want to see, please let us know. Can’t guarantee it will happen but there is always room for new ideas.
