Question

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE OLYMIPICS WHY IN VOLLEYBALL IS THERE ONE TEAM MEMBER WITH A DIFFERENT COLORED SHIRT?

Answer 1

That person with the different colored jersey is called a Libro or Libero. They are a defensive specialist  that stay middle back the whole time. They wear that jersey to distinct that they are the Libero, because otherwise they might be called for out of rotation, because the Libero doesn't rotate. Hope i helped! Have fun watching the Olympics!

Answer 2

HE IS THE LIBERO

Answer 3

In school team volleyball, the jerseys with a different color is called the libero, or digger who gets the ball to the setter, so I am guessing they are setters or liberos.

Answer 4

I think the person with the different colored shirt is the setter. they only come in during certain times.

Answer 5

That person is called the Libero.  They're in a different shirt because they may not attack or block the ball when it's completely above the height of the net.   In most cases, they're not allowed to serve, either, but I think the NCAA has an exception under certain conditions.

Not every team uses them, and only one person can be designated libero per set.

Answer 6

They are called the Libero~To keep it short~ this person is basically a defensive specialist, can come and go just  about anytime (dead balls) and dosnt use up a substitution (teams are limited to a specific amout of subs~ I think 12)  they cant attack the ball (spike) above the net nor can they set the ball while standing infront of the 10' line (the line that kind of seperates the front row and back row.

Answer 7

It's the libero. they are like a defensive specialist. Their job is to only play the back row. It is a position.

Here is information from wikipedia.

"The Libero

In 1998 the libero player was introduced internationally, the term meaning free in Italian is pronounced LEE-beh-ro (rather than lih-BEAR-oh); the NCAA introduced the libero in 2002.[15] The libero is a player specialized in defensive skills: the libero must wear a contrasting jersey color from his or her teammates and cannot block or attack the ball when it is entirely above net height. When the ball is not in play, the libero can replace any back-row player, without prior notice to the officials. This replacement does not count against the substitution limit each team is allowed per set, although the libero may be replaced only by the player whom they replaced. The libero may function as a setter only under certain restrictions. If she/he makes an overhand set, she/he must be standing behind (and not stepping on) the 3-meter line; otherwise, the ball cannot be attacked above the net in front of the 3-meter line. An underhand pass is allowed from any part of the court.

The libero is, generally, the most skilled defensive player on the team. There is also a libero tracking sheet, where the referees or officiating team must keep track of who the libero subs in and out for. There may only be one libero per set (game), although there may be a different libero in the beginning of any new set (game).

Furthermore, a libero is not allowed to serve, according to international rules, with the exception of the NCAA women's volleyball games, where a 2004 rule change allows the libero to serve, but only in a specific rotation. That is, the libero can only serve for one person, not for all of the people for whom she goes in. That rule change was also applied to high school play soon after."
