Me: * has been a libero for 3 years now * Also me: this looks interesting!
I haven’t gotten the right answer but since you’ve played is the libero able to serve ?

i did the same thing😂😭
Me watching this video acting like imma join volleyball next year.
Me too i tried to get a place in our schpol but I'm too shy to perform my talent
@@guinevere2341 play!! There’s nothing to lose about trying!!
@@terkukurpikat try it! I’m sure you’ll develop friendships with your teammates and that anxiety will go away
I am watching this because I just found out that I got in a team and I pick to be a libero
72 girls went to volleyball trials at my high school, there is only 1 trial to get into an A or B team and each team has 10 people. The coach has to choose 20 out of 72 people to be in a team.... Our school loves volleyball somehow
Ive played as an outside hitter my whole volleyball career but, I've always thought as Liberos and DS's as the coolest positios on the court.
Ds?
@@alexlittlejohn82 defensive specialist
Libero replacements are unlimited and do not count as substitutions right

I’ve always wondered why they wore different color jerseys and never attacked the net. Thanks fir the explanation!
Happy to help!
i was just told i’m gonna be the libero for my team! :)
Cool! That’s my dream😃
That’s cool
same i’m scared
You’ll love it
@@chocolatechipcookie1108 same
Me who’s been a Libero for my whole career: maybe I don’t know some stuff about my own spot?
I'm a 6th grader and I wanna be a libero so I get practice and even if my friends think it's dumb for me to practice I'm trying to get that position and it's really important to me and I love getting tiered
I’m in 7th grade, being a libero is fun and I’d suggest it, good luck!
Typical _ØØF i am a year 9 libero and a great tip is to try get fast footwork because its really easy to get hard balls when you’re fast on your feet
@@oraphans oooooo thx!!!!
fzjkq goodluck and go for it!
Thank you!
Had 2 older sisters who played in middle/high school, and I always thought this simply meant that they were team captain 🤦🏾♂️
Really cool that there is far more to it than that.
I had my first day of tryouts today and if I get on the team I really hope to be a libero. I’m not that tall so being a blocker or something wouldn’t be the best for me, and my spikes don’t always go over the net. I love receiving the ball because it gives me so much excitement.
How did it go!?
@@txmac3358 hi sorry this is really late
Didn’t get on the team last year, I was expecting it.
Got on my school team this year tho, and now I am playing for a big club. Still hoping to be a libero but don’t think I will get it. Still will be practicing tho!
"to keep the ball off the floor"
volleyball itself : oh really.
I’m a Libero it’s funny bc I thought ooo this should be interesting
In the video of Stanford's phenomenal libero Morgan Hentz, Madeleine Gates was across the net playing for UCLA. It's crazy seeing her across the net FROM Stanford considering she got the final kill on game point in 2019 FOR Stanford to win its program's 9th NCAA Championship. She had an amazing record-breaking hitting efficiency that tournament.
Me wanna be a libero:
Also me feels pain everytime i hit the floor:
(I havent started playing volleyball)
I havent been given the official spot as a libero but its the postion i like to play, but if you dont like hitting the floor dont be a libero. Just last night i threw myself on the ground, I landed back first, and my head hit the ground. I gave myself a big headache by doing that so if you cant handle everything that comes with being a libero dont be one, theres alot of ankle, knee, and back pain it also comes with a lot of floor burn, and bruising.
FYI..Regarding the libero rules… The libero replacement takes place in the “libero replacement zone” which is from the end line to the attack line. It does not take place between the attack line and the net because that is the “substitution zone” and as stated multiple times in this video, the libero does not count as substitutions. Any player stepping over the attack line towards the net is immediately deemed to be a player wanting to substitute, the score table sounds the buzzer, and the referee prepares to oversee the player substitution. If a Libero stepped into that zone, this would cause a game delay, as they are not a proper substitution. This would lead to a delay card.
I really wanna get into volleyball and I feel like libero is the only position I could realistically achieve (with a TON OF WORK OFC) because I’m short and don’t jump high! However that’s actually pretty great because it think it’s a flipping AWESOME position.
I just wish I won’t end up in one of those teams who are pretty clueless about the rules and roles AKDGKSGSK because I’m an absolute nerd. I know so much technical volleyball plays but I can’t even hit a ball properly
maybe you could try setting or server position?
How old are you? I'm asking because I'm 25, and wanna learn volleyball too, but am wondering if I'm too old to start a new sport.
@@ramroshan417 you’re never too old to start a new sport! There are even specialist groups which help elderly people stay active with sports (although I don’t suppose volleyball would be a very good choice considering the amount of jumping and throwing yourself to the flaw that’s involved). 25 however is likely too old to play professionally if you don’t have previous experience or aren’t particularly athletic, most professional athletes start very young and have been playing for over a decade before actually being old enough to go professional, however it a fine age to start playing casually if you can find a local club, if you find you have an amazing talent, there are even casual leagues though it depends on your area.
Edit: But if you work hard and find out you are very good, you do still have a chance of going professional, but you would need to get to that level in under 5 years as most volleyball players are between 20-30, the average being 26 for female and a bit under 30 for male.
@@ramroshan417never too old. I picked up this sport at 26 or 27. I'm now 36 😂. Lots of lessons, practice and games!
@@Self_luv.1serving isn’t a position
As someone who's wanted to be a libero my whole life this video has really helped me out. Thanks a lot!
i wanna play libero next year when i join highschool
Setter iastoo much stress?
Your welcome for that by the way
Same
No kenma stay as a setter
@@bulalayaocarljasper8597 😂😂😂
Make sure to have stamina or practice building it up cause trust me you need a lot of it.
imma say what we're all thinking: nishinoya
hes our spirit animal
I feel that ah 😶
Don’t forget about Yaku😙
Same
i love him
Really well done video, straightforward and to the point and with experts
I’ve literally played volleyball almost all my life and this has been one of my biggest questions and I’m a libero so this helps
Lol im practicing already but Im mostly practicing to be like My boy Nishinoya 😂😂
Love you cc! Best in the game girl!!!!
I hope I get to play the Libero position! It’s gonna be so fun :D
thank you so much i’m in 7th grade club ball and my coach put me here and i don’t know much about it so thank you!!
Lol i love all of these “I’ve been a libero/I’ve played volleyball since I was born but I’ll watch this”
Because... me too 😌💅
Glad you enjoyed it!
One other thing about rules… The hitter doesn’t have to stay on the ground if the Libero handsets the ball in the front zone. They do however have to make sure that at least a portion of the ball is below the height of the net when they attack it. Yes, if you’re a tall player, You would probably have to stay on the ground to accomplish this. But shorter players, you can probably jump and get away with it. There are college videos where the hitter has had to adjust in mid air after realizing the libero was over the line when hand setting. It’s pretty impressive to see.
I made the team last year but I was kinda just everywhere no set position, but this year my coach put me as libero which I kinda want to do, but I've never done it before. Thanks
I've always wondered about the player with the different colored jersey. Thanks !
yu nishinoya has inspired me to join the volleyball team. i am a libero now
Thanks for this I’m new to volleyball and I want to become a libero and now I know a lot more thank you for this video
You are so welcome!
I think it's great that you mention it's an Italian word that means free. Mike Dodd mispronounced it during the Olympic broadcast when it was first introduced and it stuck all the way until now. Finally, a lot of higher level coaches have begun pronouncing it correctly (I'm guessing that it has something to do with interacting with volleyball players/coaches in Europe where it is pronounced correctly). Karch Kiraly pronounced it correctly many years ago and his pronunciation was questioned during the broadcast (NCAA D1 finals??). He explained that the root word is liberate. (we pronounce it like the root word is wheelbarrow)
That’s exactly was I was thinking! I speak italian and I was very confused by the pronunciation at first.
i was a outside hitter/setter last season and now i’m a libero!
People recommend me this role after I played volleyball so I was inspired to learn about this.
respect for all liberos ♥️♥️♥️🤭👌🍀🤩
Great video, So Glad Team USA won Gold this year.
a great libero was Wong orantes, i was like how did that short Girl get on the Team?
But she was Amazing & did some Awesome saves.
I’m in middle school and have to do a sport so I want to do baseball but tryouts are over so my second option is Libero and I have to study mor about it and this helped!
So glad this was helpful to you.
I was lib on my hs team about a decade ago and I literally forgot how my position works. All I know is I was back row, strongest passer on the team and I served for the outside hitters or something. Anyways, yeah I need this refresher bc I'm coaching intermediate players and even though we don't run a libero position I'd like to be ready in offset chance of that coming up and I'm not stuck twiddling my fingers
I started playing volleyball and I mastered the libero, spoke and defense
Thank you for clarifying the limit on subs in a set. Until now, I have been dissatisfied by explanations that they can sub freely.
Dude I don't even have a volleyball team at my school 😩✊
I want to play so bad but have absolutely no way to start off
Same dude, same 😔
@@locomojoboy2
Lmao we have no team at all 😭
I want to start one but I’m currently doing online school because of Covid so I can’t
And I’d have to play on the girls team anyways since I’m female (my gender is fluid tho) and I happen to prefer women’s volleyball anyways
I was a back row middle when I played in the 1990s. I was subbed out for the front row. I probably would not have been cut from Varsity if there was a libero position.
i see the libero as kind of the goalie of volleyball. the backbone
Going to tryouts so idk what learning about positions will do to me but i atleast wanna know these things before I do
ok..just be honest
most of you are here bc of Nishinoya and his "ROOOLLINGGG THUNDEEERRRR"
i am too so dw😌✋
Ok, um, Noya definitely made being a libero sound different than it is. But that's anime for you. Anyone else agree Yu Nishinoya is the best libero to exist and the only reason they want to be a libero is because of him? No, just me? Ok then
But I'm still gonna be a libero in high school bc I'm literally shorter than Noya and can't do anything else sooooooooooo-
ya
You’re not alone, I started practicing to be a libero last year-
Same it’s because of him 🤣🤣😌😌🏐🏐
Same I hope I pass tryouts
Same libero is the only position I can really do, I’m gonna try out for volleyball this year but I will be a junior and I never really played volleyball. It sucks because I probably won’t make the team because I’m trying out so late, but I’m really knowledgeable about the rules and how to play. Idk 🤷🏻♀️
@@ashley2003 wait I’m in the same position OMG??
My coach is picking our spots on monday and I really want to be a labero or a setter
hey y’all i used to be the libero on my team but this girl came in and took my spot and now i am a ds. I kinda feel a little hurt cause you know i love to be libero. do y’all have any tips that i should practice to become more aggressive in th backrow?
My friend plays the libero for her team and based off how she plays you could practice more on your footwork and try to be impulsive if you know what I mean. Like just go for the ball. I only played volleyball for one year but I hope this helped and didn't seem like basic libero things 😁
I would say see what she’s doing better than you. If her form is better, work on your form. If she communicates more, work on your communication skills, etc
I have played for 3 years and just make sure your aggressive and that your going after any ball you can
Ok I’m only in 8th grade and I have become better at volleyball and I’m a Libero. The things that has helped me the most with becoming the player I am now is practicing at home doing club and going to volleyball camps. After I played club and did the camps I could feel myself get so much better and I did. Hope this helps
thank you ❤️🥲
great vidoe :O
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a played as a goalkeeper this looks interesting
Who’s here because of Haikyuu?
Me😅
me
MEEEEE
Me
Honestly tho, the only reason I want to do volleyball and be a libero (other then me being shorter than him) is because of [Upperclassman] Nishinoya. I love him too much for my own good
Any tips on how to dive & receive when there’s a spike that goes different directions ?
Me being a swimmer 👁👄👁
Me also being a swimmer 👁👄👁
I came from Haikyuu too 👁👄👁
👁👄👁
i wish i joined volleyball in grade 9 but here I am in grade 11 maybe joining next year
How about now?
Grreat vid !_! Lee Beh Row like Figaro is the proper pronounciation v_v
2:21 not exactly whenever she wants. Libero replacement are limited to 1 per rally. This means that whenever the libero rotates to position 4, she has to get off the court and she has to wait for 1 rally before replacing another back row player. And only in the USA the libero can serve the ball everywhere else they can't. Even in USA whenever you go watch an international event with teams from different country, they'll use the FIVB rules where the libero can't serve.
The first girl defined it perfectly. Keep the ball off the floor
"Libero" in italian? Woooow! Didn't know you use it!
3:55 the switch of liberos actually needs to be done in the "libero substitution zone", they have to enter the court by the sideline between the 3 meters line (10 foot) and the end line. The reason is simple, if the libero present himself in the regular substitution zone (between the 3 meter line and the center line) this will just confuse the referee who'll think you want to do a regular substitution which are limited substitution and registered on the scoresheet. Most of the times I have to warn liberos and coaches about the end line... Many unexperienced libero will enter the court by the end line (service line) instead of the sideline. As referee even if libero switch aren't recorded on the scoresheet (they are recorded only in very high level of competition with another control sheet) referee still need to control the legality of the switch, by restricting the libero switch only to this zone, referees know where to look so they don't miss anything (libero switch are fast), and by defining this clearly it helps to enforce the rules. Players are often themselves confuses on the court, libero makes a move to exit the court but change his mind he can't come back before the end of the next rally, so whenever he cross the sideline in his zone, this is when you consider a switch to be effective. (liberos are limited to only 1 switch per rally)
Where’s my fellow Liberos? 🙌🙌🙌
where can i find the purdue vs minnesota match?
Is the libero can be taken out by the regular 6 player that he/she substituted. The rotation of the libero is still at row.
Ok so it was not just in the anime
HAHAHHAHAAH NO-
Ya when I told my parents about wanting to be a libero they're like- "A what now? I don't think that's a real thing" Realistically, the only reason I want to do volleyball and be a libero (other then me being shorter than him) is because of [Upperclassman] Nishinoya. I simp too much but like it's fine
Wow so that's the reason they can go outside the court to pass the ball right?
Cos many videos I have watched on TH-cam they always go outside or even into the spectators area to get the ball
5:00 YESSSS SAME GIRL SAME
Guess what I have been playing specially for the defence player, from 1 year but now I know how important I am
Why only in NCAA Championship the libero can go to serve? Is this championship independent about the FIVB rules?
Okay I played as a libero for a season but I would like to play as I libero again how do I tell my coaches for this season or do I not?
Bro shes too good
What brought me here you might ask? Nishinoya and yaku 🤩 that’s what brought me here 😌
i have volleyball tryouts on January 20th wish me luck :]
Is it too late to start playing as a 15year old in highschool?
absolutely not, im 16 and i started playing when i was 13 and people told me i had to start earlier and now i play im every game (before rona)
That's really cool! Yeah it's sad Rona stoped a lot of sports but it's for the best. Thanks for answering btw!
@@bxnnylag8210 no problem ! and even after rona u can start, remember that its never too late, if u want to do it do it
Nahhhhh
HOW'S IT GOING?
They are like the goalkeepers?
yah
im in 8th , we dont get positions until 9th and im the tallest on my team kinda worried i wont get libero but im the only person who dives for the ball?
Lol said “get to run in NDA out whenever” me want the passion
I want to be it because it’s the hardest volleyball position but I also want to do outside hitter

Former fitness coach of national league teams. Today, I have a channel that talks about nonprofit volleyball and would like permission to use parts of their videos. when using it I will quote the source, indicate the channel and put the link in the description.

@@NCAAChampionships Thank you .
I wanna play volleyball and I really like libero and I dont like the spot light so im not totally going to be in the spot light and I help my team
I'm a fast short person trying to join volleyball, I can fall and I have decent reflexes, should I try out?
Yes!! If you like the sport try it!
Definitely. Agility, fast reflexes and no hesitation to go for balls are a really good thing for a player who wants to become a libero
so, was Scott Sterling a libero ?
ah yes the *spicy goalie*
A libero can also be replaced by another libero...
And a libero has even more restriction than a back row players when blocking. A back row players can attempt to block, as long as the ball doesn't touch the block there won't be a block fault, however it is a fault for the libero to even attempt to block.
Really
@@wyclifferutto6378 yes, really... Many teams have 2 liberos, one specialized in receiving the serve and the other specialized in defense. So depending who has the serve they'll put the best libero for the situation.
The libero position has been introduced to the game to improve team's defense cause without them the game wouldn't be as entertaining, we all like to see rallies that last more than just 3 hits...
Everyone is talking about Noya (not saying he isn't amazing) but like,
WHAT ABOUT YAKU THE DEMON SENPAI?!? He's so amazing I love himmmmmm he's too underrated
Yaku superiority
I am here after watching Haikyu!! 😄
Is a libero can do the service?
What is meant by "two middles"?
Wait what I'm so confused I always thought it was pronounced leeburroh
It can be pronounced like that! It mainly has to do with preference or what you were taught. Like I was taught how the video says it but a bunch of people say it a different way
It’s pronounced both ways, I prefer leeburrow
yes, and the ironic thing is that they put the dictionary pronunciation at the start of the video which shows a long "e" for the Italian word.
Jennifer Nierva sent me here..Mylabzz
So Infootball terms middle Line Backer
im short and i want to play volleyball but i want to be a libero anyway
Came to this because I’ve gotten told I am the libero and I’m very nervous about it
Any other anime fans who just watched haikyuu thinking : I wanna be like Nishinoya
Ima only join because of the lebero position
I took 2 pages of notes-
The haikyuu fans rlly do be raiding the comment section talking about Nishinoya. I play libero and it takes a crap ton of work to get the ball. You can’t feel Noya’s tiredness, you can’t feel the pain of diving for a ball and hitting the ground. Perfecting your passes takes a lot of work. Work on basic passing instead of diving first.
The name of your position translates as “free” from Italian.
Also you can only play back row. 👀
Me at 25, never played sports only marching band, graduated college 4 years ago: I wanna be a libero
im so sad i wanted to be the libero but the coach is having me be a hitter even tho im one of the best diggers/divers on the team. i guess ill try again next season
Lol I’m doing try outs soon XD
Can a libero switch out for two different players
Sure
