refnrev, ditto out here on the left coast! We just had our state rules meeting yesterday and the emphasis with the libero (actual pronunciation - LEE-beh-ro - just a very minor difference from the phonetic one being shown on the PPT slides) is on being proactive this year in teaching about the position and emphasizing that we are still experimenting with it. There are still a lot of coaches and players who do not have experience with club ball who are going to have to learn how the libero works and what the position can (and cannot) do. That way, after this season, it can be tweaked when it becomes an actual rule next year.
