I found this forum last week while doing some research on coaching. I'm a first time coach for a 7th grade recreation team and have 10yrs playing experience (10yrs ago). I've been looking into the libero position online and have received conflicting information...can someone tell me if the libero is allowed to serve and if so, in normal rotation? Any help on this topic is greatly appreciated as there was no such position during my play time. Thanks!

skdvr,
Check with your league or association, as it is generally a local issue. Here in NC many of our middle school leagues do not allow the libero to serve, while the high schools do. USAV Junior Olympic teams also do not, so it seems to depend on where you play/live.

good luck

Thanks John! We're playing under high school regulations, so I'll check with my local coaches. Last night was our first practice and it appears as though we've got a lot of work to do before even worrying about a libero!! Thanks again!
