I have played some YMCA volleyball. I don't know what a 'Libero' is. Do you? Ron McKeown
The wearer of a different-colored jersey is called the libero. This is a defense specialist, who is really good at passing and digging. A libero can't serve in high school volleyball, but he can serve in college volleyball. The reason why his shirt is a different color is to identify him when he goes on and off the court.
Actually the libero can serve in High School. USAV does not allow the libero to serve. The libero's primary role if defensive. They may not attack a ball that is completely above the net from anywhere on the court. If they set it must be from behind the attack line otherwise no one may attack the set. The play in the backrow only and may not rotate to the front row. They can replace any player in the backrow and it does not count as a sub. When they come off the court they are out for one rally/point and then may return to replace anyone in the backrow.
