What are some tips to become a better libero in volleyball?

Answer 1

This is a defensive position in Volleyball and it requires the player to be able to react quickly. Exercises which stress explosiveness like plyometrics would be helpful. Also up-downs would be good too because you often have to get down quickly to hit hard low balls. Eye exercises to learn to quickly locate the ball and track it would be helpful. There are optometrists who specialize in sports vision, look in the yellow pages or do a Google to find one.

Answer 2

The thing about good liberos is that they are fast and they are the most willing to go after the ball . So to get better I would practice alot of agility and footwork to improve speed . Just focus on getting to the ball whenever it is in play . To be a libero you need an intense desire to be involved in every play just like the setter . Make sure you are constantly in motion and that no ball ever catches you by surprise . For every time you let a ball hit the floor without a body on the floor , take a lap . Personal punishment is a necessary part of your volleyball career .
