Coaches still have to inform the scoring committee of the libero number, but can assign the designation of the serving substitution during any time of the game."
Ya, I play Libero...
I served in highschool and in JO's but in college I couldn't and at Baystates I couldn't. I am wondering why this is? I think the rules should be the same no matter where you are playing. The only time the rules should change is from indoor to outdoor.
What do you think? |
Just a little Clarification on Massachusetts vball...
The rule you stated is NCAA - which is not nessicarily the same as USAV (i believe). High schools follow MIAA (Massachusetts Interscholastic/intramural? atheletic asssociation) and PAVO rules, which are semi-nerfed NCAA rules. Junior Olympics do the same. Remember the switch from side out scoring to rally? Also the switch from best 2 of 3 to best 3 of 5? It was delayed a yearish or so from NCAA to hs/jo.
The collegiate league we play in NECVL and Baystates run off of USAV/NIRSA rules, not NCAA.
There was a poll taken at nationals in salt lake city - to see whether teams want to be able to use the libero serving rule. Should get voted through, which means NECVL will follow it.
Also there are differences between PAVO and USAV certified refs... I don't remember exactly. I know in Massachusetts PAVO ref high school/jo matches and USAV do collegiate matches.. Shouldn't be relavent to this question though..
So in short - the different leagues are going by different rules set forth by different governing bodies.
NECVL follows Nationals (NIRSA) which follows USAV I believe
Highschool listens to MIAA which mimics the NCAA (i believe nh lets libero serve?)
Hope this helps, i *believe* all info is correct, I don't have a rule book and am about to run to long island, so I didn't do many fact checking, just trying to remember from offical's meetings and what not..
