Each year we see volleyball performance stats that center on Division I or the national team but the question is always:
"What about at my level? Do these benchmarks really apply?"
For the first time we will present performance statistics from Club 13s all the way up to colleges below Division I. At Rotate123, we have collected over 50,000 matches worth of data from our SoloStats app users and will present anonymized stats by age, level and region.
You'll be able to look at what it takes to be competitive in your league. Are your stats good enough to compete in the top quartile of your league? What stats matter the most?
