Thank you! As a Libero, my team tends to celebrate the hitters more than my passes to the setter. I've gotten a lot of bruises from diving just to keep the ball up, it's sad to see that I don't get recognition for it. Coming from you, a setter, even though we haven't played with each other before, thank you for realising how hard we work!
@@Hearts4Guiz as someone who loves setting, and as a setter. My teammates receives are bad like really bad 😞 when they receive and it's bad I'd say" bro yur recieve, pls just get them high 😭 " but a friend who goes for the recieve even tho is is not a libero, his receives are high up even when it on on top of my head when he receives, I have more time to get there where the ball is and then set. I love volleyball!!! -Kageyama out
Libs are literally the best. I'm sorry that you don't get the recognition but when I watch olympics volleyball or college volleyball, I look for the libero and see if he/she is good. I'm a middle and when the ball goes through my block, the lib on my team always gets it. The hitters are good, attacking the ball but the only reason we can do it is bc of the lib's great passes to the setter who then sets the ball to the hitters. A good lib defines the team.
I don’t play any official positions due to my school being small and not having a club, but my preferred position is to play defense in the backrow! I forgot the name for it😅
My first year playing volleyball I was put at middle because I was 6'0 at 13 yr old. It wasn't fun because I loved receiving so when I joined club the coach let me play outside. When I joined club at 14 (6'4) I basically was the best passer and I could hit harder than everyone else on our team. Our middles were 5'8-5'10 so not bad height but I'm glad you put that the tallest doesn't need to be middle. Outside over all is way more fun though I miss being able to block every ball that was set lol.
proud libero here ! i used to be pretty insecure of my position since im the shortest in my teams most of the time, but once i realized that its up to me to be able to help my teammates play better, and that my struggle is also their struggle, i was no longer ashamed of it lol. thank you so much for this video!
Libero here! My teammates hand out high-fives for everything, including just going after the ball. I think I get an average of 20-30 high-fives per game. I’m glad they appreciate me so much!
You forgot the con of the hitter smashing a ball then telling you it was a bit low. (Coming from a setter/outside) You will get a perfect set once in a year, and it will be in a hitting line, and they will catch the ball, and say "it was too perfect". If you get angry at criticism, don't play setter. You always will. Also forgot the con of your middle hitting into you while trying to set. Missed Pro (Outside):Coach's favorite like 90% of the time
when i joined my volleyball team, i wanted to play oppo hitter my coach wanted me to play Libero which was fair enough because i was 5'5 and im currently not much taller, but i asked if i can show him my jump to make up for my height and long story short, i'm an opposite hitter now. that means no matter your height there is always something you can do to gain a advantage on the opponent
as a fellow shortie-i’m 4’11-(also haikyuu fan lmao), i approve! going to try out for the vb team when school starts back up, so i wish you the best of luck lol
I'm 6 ft, I'm a middle blocker and I can confirm you really need to like playing as one to enjoy it. To sum it up, it's not an objectively fun position compared to the rest of the hitters: You have to be doing lateral movement all the time, jumping to block all the spikes, and you'll only have the ball set 1 out of 10 sets if you're lucky. But being able to rest every 3 rotations is much appreciated, as is not having to receive. That's why you must like the position to enjoy playing it. Me personally, I love it so I encourage y'all to give It a try if you match the "requirements". Also thank you for this kind of videos, I'm sure they help thousands of new players in this wonderful sport.
I'm currently a setter, but after watching this video I'm starting to believe I'd be a better libero. I haven't played much as a setter, and sure it looks fun, but I'm really bad with precision, I have really bad leadership skills, I struggle with making quick decisions, I'm not very strategic, I fail to analyze the opposing teams for weaknesses, and I just overall don't fit the traits. I feel like I was only placed as the setter because my coach thought my sets were nice and pretty, but that's about it. Now, as for liberos, I'm one of the shortest in my current team, I get so thrilled when receiving balls, especially serve receives, I haven't tried it but diving for the ball looks like so much fun, I've done gymnastics before so my flexibility and agility is great, and I just overall find it more fun. I also enjoy being in the back row better than the front row. I get really nervous in the front row. But yeah, I might look into trying to change my position
i think almost every good setter doesnt like doing it lol. my setter is like literally perfect. 5 of her other siblings are setters and her dad coaches and bro she is just so good i can consistently kill her sets but with everyone else they a bit wonky
@@taylorwolfram3871our coach makes me and the other setter on our team have one on one training with every individual person in our team just so that they can get used to our sets, but honestly there are like 3 people in my team that especially kill my sets. love them
trying out for my first year of highschool. coach knows i want to be libero. what ahe told me was "youd be a good libero, but an even better hitter." (im 4'11")
Great breakdown of the positions. In terms of liberos not always getting the love, if you do your job well, people notice. DOM libero Brenda Castillo won player of the tournament at the 2023 NORCECA women's championship, and the crowd was chanting her name.
ayyy mee tooo!! i’m abt the same height as one of our middles but i’m better at diving on the floor than blocking above the net (on a good day, i can probably get my WRIST past the tape 👀) our other libero was just below my neck 😅
Middle and I am short- 5'6 Just to clarify, I am a 14 year old girl, who is 5'6. I used to play in club. Idk what my vertical is but I got picked to be middle, bc of my vertical... Love PME's videos btw 😮
libero is the position im interested in, in normal gym class volleyball im always the one throwing myself on the floor and coming home with a hole in my pants😭 but nothing excites me more honestly and im trying out this year, i went to the first pre try out practices today and im seriously hoping ill make it onto the team and as a libero!! only problem is that im on the taller side as a girl (5'8) 😢 even tho i am tall i am quick and id say pretty good at determining wether a ball is barely out or in and i think the position would be best for me and most fun!! i hope today i proved myself as i did a pretty good serve recieve it was so cool omg everyone was saying it was gonna be out but i saw it was going in and i recieved it AND DAMN WAS THAT A GOOD SERVE i still have a mark on my arm over 11 hours later 😮
So I'm a beginner player, I started playing 2 yrs ago and it didn't end well.. so I quit. Then started again for real this year, currently practicing as a setter and all the basic fundamentals. I'm also a lefty but it's weak I only use my left hand for writing. (Pls help)
I got picked for middle first year and I was super short but now it’s really fun because me and my setter are close and I basically became the go to for him because we got so good with each other even thought I’m a middle
I have been a middle all my life. Our highschool coach picked me out with another girl during 9U. I was tall then. The other girl is now 5’8’’ while I am 5’5’’. He had kept me as a middle because I jump higher than everyone. I have good hits but I am still worried I have been cut from my club team.
omg trae young 🤭 i played setter and middle on my team ( middle school so it wasn’t anything special ) and I’m 5’3, nowhere near the tallest on the team but definitely not the shortest. I think setter would be best for me in high school.
THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS VIDEO i think with all this in mind I would like to train to become either an outside or opposite hitter and I feel like this also could help show what i need to work on to excel in those areas
im so happy that you said height doesn’t matter for being a middle because people always say thats way im middle but its really because i just cant hit anywhere else. i just wish people wouldn’t just assume middles cant pass. im a great passer everyone struggles on passing (even outsides) because its simply hard.
i've been playing for 6 years but i still watch all these videos anyways lol my first year i was a setter idk why, and i dont remember it a ton, but it was me and about 3 other girls about 3 years older than me lol. idk if i was good or bad but yea. then covid and i didnt play a year, then i was libero, AND THEN i found my happy place: outside. i am a KILLER hitter and its so fun to see the other girls struggle hehehe. my club coach made me set and that did not end well but that also might be bc no one but me on that team could hit soooooooooo this is too long but idc you get to read all about my whole volleyball career
I am a beginner in volleyball and I want to play volleyball because of Haikyuu and Thanks for giving me suggestion for my role!!!! (and I want to become ace😅😅)
I’m just now starting to play volleyball and I’m really wanting to be a libero. CONS: I’m not very tall, dont like being in the spotlight much (i have anxiety), i suck at setting (and serving), and i love spiking but i always have to spike up and not down into the floor. PROS: I’m decently flexible, i have decent stamina, i love being in the back row, I’m better at receiving then anything else and its my favorite thing to do, and i love being the one to help the team when it comes to defense. I’m not one for speaking out loud much but when i get in the game i love hyping my team up. (Oh and i don’t mind not getting much recognition)
Im joining a volleyball team in a month and i really wanna be a libero cuz i believe i can have good dives and reflexes but idk if they will give me that position bc of my height(5’8) as a 14 year old, so will i have smaller chances if someone is shorter than me and wants to be a libero too
I'm starting to get really interested in volleyball, and I'm not sure what should I do I'll probably start up with some beach volley this summer and then, maybe start in a team I think my favorite position is Libero. However, I'm not sure if I should try to become one because I may also be good at setting or hitting Thanks for your content!! 😁
I think outside might be good to start with just because you get to practise all of the skills, then see what you naturally gravitate towards. I mean you don't get to set much, but I think every player should practise some setting anyways because you never know when you have to step in to emergency set.
@@a_l_e_c_i All the positions have their pros and cons. As a person that used to be middle in a team that didn’t give me any sets until I started changing to an outside it sucked a lot unless I blocked bc it would rly hype me up.
I started volley as an oppo, then switch to setter into MB. I don't like my position as someone who prefers defending rather than attacking. But watching this video made me realize that I fit both MB and libero.
Today's bible verse: Ecclesiastes 12:13 That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty.
My physical looks make me look like a libero (I'm 5'5) but my physical capabilities make me a good middle blocker like my jump is extremely high and I can move very quickly and I'm good at passing since I was playing libero but then I tried middle and I was great at it and I'm also good at read blocking which was more than enough proof that I should play middle
My coach has not put me into a specific position yet but I usually play as a setter! I really enjoy it but it's super hard and like you said, my teammates need different kind of heights for the setting and i sometimes mess it up by doing different sets for other people. I don't have any specific thing that i like the most but if i had to choose it'll be hitting as an outside hitter! This spot is so good! Although my weak spot is serving, i think I can get through with it! Also I'd like to say that as a girl, female liberos don't serve as well. Although i don't know about America, here in Europe NO liberos serve! Anyway, i absolutely loved your video and I'm looking forward to more! Which position do you think suits me best? You can ask me more stuff and I'll be sure to answer! Edit: some typos, it's nothing, really
I tried out a few positions. Setter, Outside, and oppo, because I suck at defense. I am 6'5 and as much as I love blocking, theres something about being a setter that I really love. But I also suck at setting most of the time, and I get good sets forsure but no one ever sees them, and my friends roast my bad sets, haha!
Started as a middle blocker coz i was the tallest guy in team but I always felt comfortable in being a setter. It's just feel like I'm leading an orchrestra. LOLL
I started setter, then moved to middle blocker even though I don’t know why, I was so tiny then and literally sucked at blocking at my spikes were decent ish, then moved to libero because I was like 5’1, then back to setter and have been there since.
I was a setter because I was brilliant at my first year of voleyball. Next year, my traineer also decided to use me as a setter but I don't like it anymore. He put a lot of pressure over me and he yelled to my team a lot. I lost most of my setter skills because I wasn't confident enough. This year I also started again as a setter, and I did it horrible when choosing the team A(the best) and B(the worst). I am in the B team now. One day I was playing with my friends in A team and my traineer watched me playing. Next day, when I was training with my team, she told me to try the opposite hitter possition and I played really well and I'm left handed so that also helped me. She changed me from a setter to this new possition. Now, I'm the best oppo in my team and in team A, so my traineer changed me to group A.
diving in a little deeper to what he said here -> 1:27 I've learned as a setter to identify your types of hitters. A hard hitter, someone you can set to who is strong, and who is guaranteed (if you give them a good set) to slam it down. Your smart hitter (or nerd lol) a hitter who is not necessarily as strong as your hard hitter. However, they are strong when it comes to being smart about where they put the ball and getting over or around blocks. The last one is my fav, your raccoon hitter. (or trashcan hitter, reduce reuse recycle hitter or your dependable spiker.) You can give this player the worst sets, and they'll still play it. They're good at adjusting and using your set, making what could've been a point lost into a game-changing play!!! :3333
Well, at the end of the year i will be entering a club of volleyball, but i really hope i will play in front cuz im more of a hitter....but i want to become a middle blocker...but my height is a big disadvantage...im 180m
I wonder how my choch3e felt when 5,6 11yr me walking into vb practice, I've always known imma be an opp bc I'm really tall AND left handed, but being tall does play a big roll in if u wanna be front u either need to be tall or have a MASSIVE vertical
Im a girl and im sure most of you here are boys but i wanna ask can i start playing volleyball in college i love the sport so much ❤ but lets just say im not in the best shape(haven't exercised) im tall not all that flexible but i can run and jump say is it possible for me to start in college as a total newbie. I'm also left handed
idk i just got out of the beginner team and i feel so bad while being in the normal volleyball team. Can't stand the thought of being the worst there.. Im always ignored when it comes to games in the team. I just want to get good enough for others to serve me the ball
i'm a really good setter but i'm way too short and I might have to switch to libero later but i really don't want to. i love this position so much and it feels so perfect, if only i wasn't so short!
A really good outside hitter can carry a mediocre high school team through disctricts A really good setter or libero cannot. A state level team needs great setters and liberos but it probably needs great everything.
As a middle i can say Height isnt the most important. Im 5’10 and was one of the tallest hitters but during my Jr year one of the middles was 5’6 constantly getting touches and blocks.
Of course you can play other positions than middle if you’re tall, but it doesn’t go the other way around. If you’re short you really shouldn’t be playing middle, because the blocking, which is extremely advantageous if you’re tall, is essential to be a good middle since you are the different between the opponent getting an easy one on one or being forced to cut with less power. The hitting isn’t as important since there are at least 2 others that can also hit the ball and out of system balls rarely if at all get set to middle since it’s not worth the risk most of the time.
I’m 5’2 (still growing) and I’m new to volleyball but I got rejected by the last team I tried to join in MS, and my new HS has a team but idk if I’ll get the chance to play. If I don’t have that much prior experience would I still get to play in HS?

Im joining a volleyball team in a month and i really wanna be a libero cuz i believe i can have good dives and reflexes but idk if they will give me that position bc of my height(5’8) as a 14 year old, so will i have smaller chances if someone is shorter than me and wants to be a libero too
I'm thinking of the same thing : Would a smaller person be chosen for libero or does the height not matter for this position ?
Heart over height 🗣🗣🗣‼️‼️‼️
I'm starting to get really interested in volleyball, and I'm not sure what should I do
I'll probably start up with some beach volley this summer and then, maybe start in a team
I think my favorite position is Libero. However, I'm not sure if I should try to become one because I may also be good at setting or hitting
Thanks for your content!! 😁
im a libero but i wanna be a setter
I can jump high enough to block practicing to spike rn, and I’m not that tall(I’m still a kid lmao) what’s the BEST position rn for me?
I think outside might be good to start with just because you get to practise all of the skills, then see what you naturally gravitate towards.
I mean you don't get to set much, but I think every player should practise some setting anyways because you never know when you have to step in to emergency set.
Started as a middle but my coach has recently started to test me as an outside. Tbh I’m happy bc middle kinda sucks (there are good times tho)
Remember Hinata is a middle blocker :D in my opinion all positions are amazing
@@a_l_e_c_i All the positions have their pros and cons. As a person that used to be middle in a team that didn’t give me any sets until I started changing to an outside it sucked a lot unless I blocked bc it would rly hype me up.
As a libero, sometimes i do wish i got more recognition as all the thanks goes to the hitters, so thanks !!
i play spectator it is so ez
Awesome video. I'm 5'6" and was a middle blocker😂. I've made the change to setter/libero now. Middle took too much energy.
my middle was just barely 5' 😂
girl could jump tho
born to set forced to hit
I started volley as an oppo, then switch to setter into MB.
I don't like my position as someone who prefers defending rather than attacking.
But watching this video made me realize that I fit both MB and libero.
i was a setter then a outside/ DS then a libero and right side. now i might try middle since i can jump really high
I play outside and dabble in middle
Today's bible verse:
Ecclesiastes 12:13
That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty.
My physical looks make me look like a libero (I'm 5'5) but my physical capabilities make me a good middle blocker like my jump is extremely high and I can move very quickly and I'm good at passing since I was playing libero but then I tried middle and I was great at it and I'm also good at read blocking which was more than enough proof that I should play middle
I’m a setter cause of you 😄
Can I literally just be a setter cause I’m delusional and I am a Kenma wannabe from Haikyuu
im a lefty setter but thinking about going to libero. I love setting but im 170cm (5.7)... wish i could play as opo
My coach has not put me into a specific position yet but I usually play as a setter! I really enjoy it but it's super hard and like you said, my teammates need different kind of heights for the setting and i sometimes mess it up by doing different sets for other people. I don't have any specific thing that i like the most but if i had to choose it'll be hitting as an outside hitter! This spot is so good! Although my weak spot is serving, i think I can get through with it! Also I'd like to say that as a girl, female liberos don't serve as well. Although i don't know about America, here in Europe NO liberos serve! Anyway, i absolutely loved your video and I'm looking forward to more! Which position do you think suits me best? You can ask me more stuff and I'll be sure to answer!
Edit: some typos, it's nothing, really
I started as a setter but now I'm an oppo hitter😙
I have been a setter since I started playing volleyball because im a leftie
is 18 years old too late to start playing volleyball?
I think no
I'm a DS (defense specialist) and was wondering how helpful it is compared to being a libero which is the most known defense position. Thanks!
I tried out a few positions. Setter, Outside, and oppo, because I suck at defense. I am 6'5 and as much as I love blocking, theres something about being a setter that I really love. But I also suck at setting most of the time, and I get good sets forsure but no one ever sees them, and my friends roast my bad sets, haha!

Started as a middle blocker coz i was the tallest guy in team but I always felt comfortable in being a setter. It's just feel like I'm leading an orchrestra. LOLL
I started setter, then moved to middle blocker even though I don’t know why, I was so tiny then and literally sucked at blocking at my spikes were decent ish, then moved to libero because I was like 5’1, then back to setter and have been there since.
Setter and libero!❤
I was a setter because I was brilliant at my first year of voleyball. Next year, my traineer also decided to use me as a setter but I don't like it anymore. He put a lot of pressure over me and he yelled to my team a lot. I lost most of my setter skills because I wasn't confident enough. This year I also started again as a setter, and I did it horrible when choosing the team A(the best) and B(the worst). I am in the B team now.
One day I was playing with my friends in A team and my traineer watched me playing. Next day, when I was training with my team, she told me to try the opposite hitter possition and I played really well and I'm left handed so that also helped me. She changed me from a setter to this new possition. Now, I'm the best oppo in my team and in team A, so my traineer changed me to group A.
diving in a little deeper to what he said here -> 1:27 I've learned as a setter to identify your types of hitters. A hard hitter, someone you can set to who is strong, and who is guaranteed (if you give them a good set) to slam it down. Your smart hitter (or nerd lol) a hitter who is not necessarily as strong as your hard hitter. However, they are strong when it comes to being smart about where they put the ball and getting over or around blocks. The last one is my fav, your raccoon hitter. (or trashcan hitter, reduce reuse recycle hitter or your dependable spiker.) You can give this player the worst sets, and they'll still play it. They're good at adjusting and using your set, making what could've been a point lost into a game-changing play!!! :3333

I've always wanted to be a setter (yes before watching haikyuu) but I'm a middle blocker
I’m right side as 5’8 but I might go to outside. I really just have long arms to help me hit easier
Well, at the end of the year i will be entering a club of volleyball, but i really hope i will play in front cuz im more of a hitter....but i want to become a middle blocker...but my height is a big disadvantage...im 180m
You are knowledgeable, I appreciate this... can you unfurrow your brow?
I wonder how my choch3e felt when 5,6 11yr me walking into vb practice, I've always known imma be an opp bc I'm really tall AND left handed, but being tall does play a big roll in if u wanna be front u either need to be tall or have a MASSIVE vertical
I dont know why being an oppo is easier for me than outside as a right handed person 😭
Im a girl and im sure most of you here are boys but i wanna ask can i start playing volleyball in college i love the sport so much ❤ but lets just say im not in the best shape(haven't exercised) im tall not all that flexible but i can run and jump say is it possible for me to start in college as a total newbie. I'm also left handed
I'm a middle who does everything except setting lmao, my PE teacher lets me go on back row
idk i just got out of the beginner team and i feel so bad while being in the normal volleyball team. Can't stand the thought of being the worst there.. Im always ignored when it comes to games in the team. I just want to get good enough for others to serve me the ball
Im thinking of starting volleyball, and Im 5'10. What position should I choose? Because im stuck😂
i'm a really good setter but i'm way too short and I might have to switch to libero later but i really don't want to. i love this position so much and it feels so perfect, if only i wasn't so short!
I Started as a Setter in School, Went to Middle Last Year and Now, In my Last School Year, i'm a Middle Just Because of My Blocking Ability!!
Most of my teammates always tell to be a setter because of my ball control and i can easily adjust to any spiker\teamates!
A really good outside hitter can carry a mediocre high school team through disctricts
A really good setter or libero cannot.
A state level team needs great setters and liberos but it probably needs great everything.
As a middle i can say Height isnt the most important. Im 5’10 and was one of the tallest hitters but during my Jr year one of the middles was 5’6 constantly getting touches and blocks.
Of course you can play other positions than middle if you’re tall, but it doesn’t go the other way around. If you’re short you really shouldn’t be playing middle, because the blocking, which is extremely advantageous if you’re tall, is essential to be a good middle since you are the different between the opponent getting an easy one on one or being forced to cut with less power. The hitting isn’t as important since there are at least 2 others that can also hit the ball and out of system balls rarely if at all get set to middle since it’s not worth the risk most of the time.
Currently an Outsider looking to learn to play setter though due to lacking height (5'11)
Starting play as out side hitter but now playing as middle blocker cause Iam the tallest player in my team
I’m an Outside through and through. I tried being a middle, but I just wasn’t used to being so quick to a spike.
What position should I play, I am 165 cm ( I am only 14). I would say I can jump on and has good reflexes. I'm new to the game btw
I am 11 years old and i am midle because i block a lot and im ( 5,6 ) and i love that position .😊 i started at 8 years old
I’m 5’2 (still growing) and I’m new to volleyball but I got rejected by the last team I tried to join in MS, and my new HS has a team but idk if I’ll get the chance to play. If I don’t have that much prior experience would I still get to play in HS?
