Adams High42Madison High23 PUT THE SCHOOL NAMES AND LIBERO NUMBER AT THE TOP OF THE TRACKING FORM FOR EVERY SEPARATE SET. THE LIBERO CAN CHANGE FROM SET TO SET. THE LIBERO CANNOT CHANGE DURING A SET. SET

Adams High 42 Madison High c c LIST ALL PLAYERS IN SERVING ORDER AS SHOWN ON THE LINE-UP SHEETS PROVIDED BY THE COACHES – MAKE SURE EACH TEAM HAS A COURT CAPTAIN DESIGNATED. CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE LIBERO TRACKING FORM MATCHES THE SCORESHEET SET

Adams High 42 Madison High c c When the Libero replaces a player on the court, enter an L in that serving position. When the Libero is replaced, enter the number of the returning player to the right of the L. Be sure the number of the returning player is the same as the one that the Libero replaced. DO NOT slash the number or the L during a Libero replacement. When a regular substitution occurs, slash the exiting player number and enter the new number. Thus, only subs will have slashed numbers.

Adams High42Madison High23 1 3c c L L 4 13 L 34 L L14 L L This L ibero tracking presentation was designed to illustrate a number of situations L ibero Trackers typically encounter. The L ibero Tracker partners with the scorer to ensure all substitutions are properly recorded. 4 1 SET

The same number MUST always appear before and after the Libero’s number on all replacements. Notify the R2 immediately of an illegal Libero replacement. Watch both sides, as Liberos often replace from both teams on the same dead ball. Communicate and coordinate with the scorekeeper often to ensure accuracy. At the end of a time out, make sure the correct players return to the court. Try to SEE the replacement rather than try to figure out what might have happened. Have fun with what you are doing.
