Why does everyone freak out about the libero?

Question

like every other question in this section someone is flipping out about the fact one dude wears a different shirt then everyone else... so my q is: Did the libero freak you out when you first got into volleyball like it is all these people?

Answer 1

I began playing in the old system in high school.  [Side out scoring to 15, let serves were errors, finger passes on serves was in its inception].  My junior year of high school, I went to a college volleyball game to watch, and was baffled by the contrasting jerseys amongst several other things.

Knowing that soccer captains wore arm bands, I thought that the different jersey was the captain of the team. I was sitting in a crowd of volleyball people, and most of them did not know what it was.

Only a few months later when I first tried out for a regional team did I realize what the rules were regarding the libero.

So for someone to sit at home with no outside knowledge or experience with the game, it's completely understandable not to know what the dude with the different color shirt is doing, and why he's got a different shirt on.

Answer 2

It seems to be the most repeated question on this forum, and I get a laugh on how many people are just to lazy to breeze some of the questions to get the answer.

I was not freaked out when they changed the rule, I thought is was cool.

But the amount of laziness is un real in this forum.

Answer 3

I laugh so hard at those questions. I guess its overwhelming? Lmao.

When i found out about the libero, I'm like okay, cool.

But some people are like "NO WAIIII THEY HAVE A DIFF COLOR SHIRT?? HOW IS DIZ POSSIBLE?" I guess these people are new to volleyball?

Answer 4

hhahaha no

Answer 5

I know. SO many people ask this question. No the libero did not freak me out. haha. I guess it's just something that I grew up knowing; i have a very 'volleyball family.'

The good thing about those questions is the easy 2 points for answering the same thing over and over again. =)

Answer 6
