LiberoThe libero is pronounced (LEE bah ro) although I heard others pronounce it (la BARE o). This position was added to the internationL game in 1998 and was first used in NCAA in 2002.
The most obvious thing you will notice about the Libero is that they wear a different uniform. Usually it is the opposite color of the rest of the team, but can be any contrasting colors. The rules for this position have continued to change since 2002. Even this year USAV added a second libero for the team, so that at any given game, where before only one person was designated as the libero, now two players are given this designation, and the second person can be designated the libero at any time in the game. |
