Jul 19, 2017 · The player with the different coloured jersey is the "libero" - a specialised defensive player who is able to be freely substituted for any back court player.They can never rotate to the front court (if that would happen, the player they've replaced must re-enter the court), engage in any kind of attack from above the height of the net (even a back row attack) nor serve.

A libero is allowed to enter or exit the court in between plays/rallies (i.e., between the end of one play and the start of the next play). If they are off the court, they may enter and replace any player in the back row. If they leave the court, they must wait for one play/rally before returning to the court in a new rotational position. The liber...
The libero must exit the court when they rotate to the front row. They are only allowed to play in a back row position legally, so they must exit the court before the start of the next play. The only exception to this requirement to exit the court after rotating to the front row is if they move to replace the next serverinstead.
Liberos are not allowed to serve in FIVB play. Most other leagues (NFHS, NCAA, USAV) allow the libero to serve in one rotational position. Once they serve for a particular rotational position, they may only serve again in that same rotational position for the remainder of the set. To serve, they may simply replace the player that is in the serving ...
The term “libero” is from Italian and means “free”, as in “battitore libero” which means “free defender.” There is a surprising amount of confusion on how to pronounce the word “libero”. You may hear: 1. lib-er-o, or li-br-ow 1.1. Google indicates this is the American pronunciation 2. lih-bear-o, or li-beh-row 2.1. Google indicates this as the Brit...
This depends on the volleyball league. Teams may designate between 0 and the maximum number allowed.
Two liberos work the same as if there were only one libero, except that the two liberos can replace one another. Two liberos cannot do anything that a single libero cannot do. 1. Only 1 libero may be on the court at a time 2. Once a libero serves that is the only rotational position, a libero may serve in 3. If one libero is on the court (i.e., the...
A libero may hit a ball over the net only if they do not contact the ball when it is entirely above the height of the net. If the libero is a shorter player, and/or doesn’t jump very high they may be able to jump and still contact the ball such that it is not above the height of the net. The main referee will determine if it is a legal hit or not. ...
A libero may always overhead set a ball, but if they overhead set a ball from the front zone (i.e., on or in front of the attack line) then another player may not attack the ball above the height of the net on a hit. So, if a libero mistakenly sets the ball from the front zone, their teammates need to recognize that they are not allowed to attack t...
Whether or not liberos are allowed to be captains depends on the volleyball league. If you decide to use a libero as a captain, you will need to designate an alternate or floor captain when they are not on the court. Unlike a normal rotational player, liberos are required to leave the court when they rotate to the front unless they are going to ser...
There are many good reasons to use a libero: 1. A libero may be able to play nearly the entire game in the back-row (if desired) 1.1. As such a libero can nearly cover 2 players for their entire time in the back-row (less the service of 1) 2. A libero replacement does not count as a substitution and so allows you to save subs or supplement them 2.1...
