5. THE PLAYERS
LIBERO

6. What is the libero?
•
The volleyball libero is a defensive specialist position in
indoor volleyball. The position was added to the game
in 1999 along with special rules for play in order to
foster more digs and rallies and to make the game
more exciting. The libero remains in the game at all
times and is the only player not limited by rules of
rotation. He usually replaces the middle blocker
position when they rotate to the back row and never
rotates to the front row himself.
• The libero is chosen by the team before the match or
tournament and that designated player must remain
the libero for the entire match or tournament. If the
libero is injured, he/she can be replaced by any player
who is not on the court, but that player must remain
the libero for the remainder of the match.

7. What does the libero do during a play?
The libero is responsible for a great deal of the passing in
serve receive. Often the libero will be responsible for a
much greater part of the court than his teammates. The
libero is in the game to add ball control, so his main
responsibility is to pass the ball well so the team can run
the offense. On defense the libero needs to dig well, getting
a hand on every ball he can to keep the play alive. Since the
libero has no attack responsibilities, he must chase down
every ball he can. He may also be responsible for setting if
the ball is dug by the setter or out of the setter's range.

8. SETTERS

9. Setter is in charge of the offense. She decides
who should get the ball and when. It

setter is a very important position in
volleyball.

correctly and there is no overlap
• Communicate with each hitter to make sure they knows the play
they will run and what set they will hit.
• Wait for the opponent's serve to cross the net and then move into
position for the perfect pass which is at the net, just right of the
middle of the court.
• Make a decision about which hitter gets the ball based on the
position of the pass, the availability of your hitters, the other team's
blocker position and abilities and the other team's defense. Setter
may also decide to dump or put the ball over the net on the second
contact depending on these factors.
• On defense in the front row, the setter blocks on the right side
against the other team's outside hitter.Once the ball crosses back
into your court, get into position to set the ball in transition.
• On defense in the back row, dig from the right back if necessary.
Make sure another player knows you need them to set if you make
the dig. If you don't dig the ball, get to the net quickly to set the ball
in transition.

usually hit quick sets or serve as a decoy to
confuse the opponent's blockers if the pass is
good enough

unavailable.

side in the front and back row. Because of the
location on the court, the opposite may be
responsible for some setting when the setter
is unavailable.
