A double occurs in volleyball when a player, during a match, is credited with scoring at least ten times in one (or more) of five statistical categories: aces, kills, blocks, digs, and assists. The term was apparently derived from similar basketball jargon; the expression "triple-double" was coined by former Los Angeles Lakers public relations director in order to showcase Magic Johnson's versatility. There are four main types of doubles:

| - A double occurs in volleyball when a player, during a match, is credited with scoring at least ten times in one (or more) of five statistical categories: aces, kills, blocks, digs, and assists. The term was apparently derived from similar basketball jargon; the expression "triple-double" was coined by former Los Angeles Lakers public relations director in order to showcase Magic Johnson's versatility. There are four main types of doubles:
* Double-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in two of the five categories.
* Triple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in three of the five categories.
* Quadruple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in four of the five categories.
* Quintuple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in all five of the five categories. Of the five statistical categories, double digit match totals are most common for assists, but rare for any positions other than setter. The next most frequent double-digit category is digs, which is most often attained by liberos or defensive specialists, but can be achieved by any strong defensive player. Kills are the third most common double-digit achievement category, occurring predominantly among hitters, especially outside hitters and middle blockers. Likewise, double-digit blocking numbers are preponderantly accomplished by middle blockers or outside hitters, but are much less common than double-digit kills. Rarest by far are double-digit aces, which even the most exceptional server is unlikely to attain once in a career. (en)
