Why is there one person on a volley ball team that wears a different jersey?

Answer 1

This player is called a libero. She wears a different color jersey so the referee can identify. She can enter the game for any player in the back row without a substitution. She can serve or attack the ball.

Answer 3

The person that wears a different jersey is the librero! They're defensive-specialists! They can sub in and out when ever they want but only in the back row. They can never serve or play front row as long as they have that jersey on. They wear a different jersey so that the refs could tell them apart from the rest of the team!

So they can switch in and out the game with out going threw the reffs

Answer 5

Every team has a designated person called the Labaro, the defensive specialist. The labaro can go in as many times for the back row, while other players have a certain number of times then can be substituted in.

Answer 9

I am on the  Junior Varsity volleyball team, and the answer to your question is..dun, dun, dun! The Libero wears a different jersey. A libero is a back row passer only, and cannot serve or play front row. We have the best libero on the planet! We love you, Heather!

Answer 10

It's called the libero. She only plays backrow and pretty much has to be a really good passer for the setter to set it up for the spiker. She doesn't sub in or sub out formally.

Answer 11

it is the Libero.  The Libero is usually the best passer on the team.The Libero only plays backrow and can only serve in college volleyball.The Libero goes in and out for a person who isn't a great passer.

Answer 12

The person who wears a different colored jersey is called the Libero. The jersey is highly contrasted with the normal team jersey. The Libero can substitute for any backrow player without having to use an official substitution. It allows for a speedier gameplay. The Libero is basically a pure defensive player.

Rules are constantly changing throughout USAV, High School, and NCAA to accomodate for this new position. Currently Liberos are limited to the following:

- They cannot attack the ball above the plane of the net.

- They cannot assist an attack from the front row.

- They cannot block.

- They cannot move to the front row.

Everything else I believe is legal for the Libero, including serving.

Answer 13

This person is called a lebro. The reason why they have a different jersey, because they could get in the game with no substitution

Answer 14

Answer 15

That person is called the libero. The libero is usually the best passer on the team. they can go in for anyone in the back court. In usa Volleyball the libero can not serve but in college the libero can serve. for more information vist usavolleyball.org

Answer 16

It's the libero. The libero can be substituted for anyone. They don't have to do the hand touch ten foot line thing. They don't hit, and usually don't serve. They're usually pretty short, but they have to be quick to break all the serves. That's basically a libero's job.
