Question

Why is there more then one color worn on a volleyball team?

Answer 1

only one person wears a different color shirt thats the libero, a libero is a person that come in for another player in the back and only in the back row ,without checking in with the refs, they can only can be one on the court, they wear a different color shirt thats so that the ref's have an idea that they went in, also because there's a number of subs you can have during a  game, the libero doesn't count as a sub

Answer 2

If you are asking why there is someone on the court with a different colored jersey, the answer is simple: the person with the different colored jersey is the libero, who plays only the back row. The libero is not always on the court though. A middle hitter will substitute in for the libero when he or she gets to the front row. I hope this helped, but if this was not what you were asking, please clarify your question.  

Answer 3

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."

Answer 4

im not exactly sure what you are asking but if you are talking about the person on the back row they are called the libero and they are only allowed to play on the back row. they can serve but as soon as they rotate to the front row they have to be substituted.

Answer 5

if your talking about indoor the person is called the libero which onlyplays backrow
