Abstract

The influence of attacking performance on achieving favorable outcomes in modern volleyball is one of the most decisive factors in overall team performance. Its analysis requires a systematic approach that enables coaches to optimize their teams’ efficiency and effectiveness through the examination of statistical evidence. Focused on the Southeastern Conference (SEC), this study examines the relationship between attacking parameters—effectiveness and efficiency—and competitive success across different player roles during the 2023 and 2024 regular seasons. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the impact of offensive performance on match outcomes and offer practical tools for designing technical-tactical strategies in high-performance collegiate settings.
