Liberos

Liberos specialize in defense. They are responsible for a great deal of the passing in serve receives and the ball control of the game; the magnitude of their roles could exceed the ones of their teammates. On defense, liberos need to get their hands on every ball so they can keep the play going. Since liberos have no attack responsibilities, they must chase down every ball they can. They may also be responsible for setting if the ball is touched by the setter or out of the setter's range; however, there are certain restrictions on that. Liberos are the only ones incapable of becoming captain.
