In Ohio, we had the Libero last year. I did 21 Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman Matches and found the most difficulty in the coaches and athletes understanding the replacement procedure. The game use of the Libero was for the most part error-free. Entry onto the court between the attack line and end line was the primary problem. Replacement of the correct player was the other problem. By the end of the season, most coaches seemed to understand the procedures. I don't believe a lot of time and effort went into educating the players on proper procedures by the coaches .
The only problem ( ? ) was the Libero and her replacement kept asking the down official for permission to replace. We politely advised them ( repeatedly ) they didn't have to have permission once the game had started.

Just coming back to the site with scheduling already taking place. I decided I better brush up on my Volleyball skills again. I find this to be a good place to interact.


P.S. The Powerpoint Presentation IS a very good training device.
