Volleyball Positions ~ Libero

- The libero is a fairly new position in volleyball. The libero is a player who is only allowed to play in the back court.
- The libero wears a different color shirt than the other members on the team, and is allowed to enter and exit the game without being given permission to be subbed in by the reff.
- The libero can replace any player on the court. Usually they replace middle players who only play in the front row.
- The libero is not allowed to serve the ball.
- Since the libero only plays in the back row, the libero needs to have one of the best passing and defensive skills in the team. The libero also needs to be able to receive serves.

The libero is known as the "digger" on the team, because they are the ones who usually dig for the ball.
