The main reason behind this definition related to the libero of soccer, cause he always plays in the back court, wears different uniform and not allowed to play in front court, in addition to his outstanding reception and court defense skillsAre people allowed to use their feet while playing volleyball?
Definition: A defensive player who wears a different color jersey and is restricted from hand setting the ball in front of the attack line, serving the ball, and attacking the ball.The player who wears a different color than the other teammates is free to be replaced by other players without asking permission from the referee during the match,so is called "libero" which comes from "liberty".Of course it is better to make a defensive player a "libero".

a libero is a defensive specialist. I believe libero was from Latin. But not too sure. Basicly a libero can't hit or set before the 10 foot line. Recent rule changes allow them to start serving.How can i improve my sets and hits in volleyball?
They are the passing specialist. Their one and only job is to get a good pass up to the setter. But when they are receiving the ball they are on defence defending their side of the court. THen once they have done their job their team can continue on offense for the win! Hence the "defensive specialist"What is the measurement of the ball in volleyball?

This will answer your question.
teams have a player called a libero. The libero is a defensive player who can go in and out.
im not sure why they are called that but they are a defensive player who can sub in without calling a sub and without counting them as a sub, they cannot serve, set, or spike the ball above the 10 ft. line. they where a different jersey as well. they are selected by their skill in passing, digging and recieving. good defensive players that pick up hard spikes or serves.
