Beginner tips for a Libero by Delaney Moon

[@danieldziepak6561]

Thank you for the tips.. only get to play 2-3 times a week so anything helps. Goodluck in college

[@staceyerikson4982]

Please no tips, unless you are showing what not to do as a lebaro. I will not allow my child to watch your videos, so that she doesnt pick up any of of these bad habots. She will not be picked for lebaro if shr plays like this

I play volleyball. I am an outside. I play regionals at one of the best in my stat. I am hoping to eventually play nationals. I would love to play professionally, but that is really hard to do. My moms rule is if I want to do that I have to play volleyball every day for 30 minutes on the 6 days I have practice. I have to do an hour and a half on the one day I don’t have practice. I am 15. I have been playing for 3 years. I love it. My practices are 2 1/2 hours long 3 days a week and an hour and half 2 days of the week. I have a one hour practice every Monday though. I also play for my school 5 days a week and then plus games. I do a lot and my mom also wants me to be a straight A student. I play a lot, but I want to be a labero and this video is very helpful.

[@delaneymoon]

Wow, that is some schedule.. love the commitment but be sure not to burn out. Make sure you take a break when needed and never stop having fun.

[@EllieandDelaney4ever]

I would just like to say you are such a role model! As a sort of young volleyball player, you have inspired me so much and helped a lot. I look up to you because I would love to be a libero, and lots of my teammates think would do good as one. My name is the same as yours, which for some reason makes me feel stronger and more determined to be like you!

[@delaneymoon]

Tysm.. I will be watching for your name in a few years

[@YourFaveGen]

I started playing regionals in November. We have our first tournament in 2 weeks and I got chosen as libero and I used to be setter at school, so thank you for this!

[@lupemadrid9022]

OMG good luck at your university! Wish you the best! Tysm for the tips 🏐

[@lupemadrid9022]

Also, sorry, but I want to learn how to dive. I’m too scared and idk how to do it right

[@delaneymoon]

Thank you!!

[@delaneymoon]

I plan on doing a diving video soon.

[@Margelisse]

Love watching your shorts🫶u should make a video on how to dive

[@Volleyball_girl133]

She is my role model I am a lib on my team and when I need tips or really anything I look at Delaneys videos

[@delaneymoon]

❤️❤️❤️

[@brooklynballew5609]

I just started club this is my first year and I really want to be a libaro so thank you so much ❤

[@addyslaven06]

thank you so much! i hope to play with junior college as a libero

[@kaylee_alexa]

Thanks for the tips! I enjoy watching you play and hope you have fun at college. You inspire me so much ❤❤

[@jdrankwalter]

I stand in a lot of serve receives and stare down the server. A lot of serves you can quick set to your setter. Always move your feet in defense and plug your teams blocking holes as a middle back.

[@jdrankwalter]

I feel like a lot of long serves are soft and setting instead of passing is easier in serve receives.

[@thementallyillopossum]

Thank you so much for the tips Delaney! I'm an intermediate libero and this was honestly just super helpful to remind me of the basics. Lots of love Queen! ❤

[@Defonot_aubrey]

I really love your videos and shorts and their so helpful,next year I hope I make the team I really love volleyball so I hope I can improve❤

[@fatmaelayoruk8977]

You and your team are really great, I hope I can be like that when I grow up😻

[@kelseyartman]

i get 2 practice a week and it’s good to know stuff that can get me as good as you. when you started diving, did u just go for it? or did u learn a technique

[@kyabogart2]

Thanks so much for this video it’s is really helpful .

[@Keigs_volleyball5]

Thank you so so so much!! This helped me a lot!!! I’m a freshman and the passion I want to play is Libero it’s also my favorite passion, I’m 4,10 I’m vary short but one of my team mates said I’d make one hell of a Libero so I realy would like to make this passion I ended up getting down on myself today about it since I can’t over hand serve vary well so this helped me a lot!! I hope you have fun in college! ❤

[@tttttisurfav]

Thank you so much for the tips! I wanted to ask how much you practice in a week? What do you recommend to practice at home? Congrats on your university! Wishing you the best 💗

[@delaneymoon]

I am currently practicing/conditioning about 6 hours a week minimum. I also work out a couple times a week and get a lot of touches teaching privates and clinics. Ball handling / passing to yourself is a good at home drill.

[@tttttisurfav]

Tysm!

[@rustynail9007]

Great advice and tips. Good luck with college!

[@claudiabarrigamedina751]

Thankss for your tips ❤❤❤

[@RamaAlhorane]

I am a new follower and your videos are awesome .You are really good at diving and I am sure you have a lot of experience how to dive. Can you please make a video how to dive this would be really helpful :)

[@delaneymoon]

I am always asked for diving tutorials and I have to be honest, it is hard for me to really explain how I got so good at it. I intend to put one together soon. I do know that a lot of it is mental. It is not natural for us to throw our bodies in the air over a hard surface. Overcoming that self-preservation instinct is probably the hardest part. First of all, I do recommend training on a sports court, not a hardwood gym floor. I wear sleeves with built-in elbow pads. Mine are linked on my gear page at delaneymoon.com You want to focus on launching yourself forward, not down into the court. You will usually push off with one foot while the other is thrust up into the air. Your push-of foot will then follow. You will land in a sequence of points, staying away from boney parts of your body. Starting with your palms/forearms ( this is also where the elbow pads come in ) Be carefully not to land where your hands can stick and roll under. Then your chest/belly should contact, followed by your thighs/toes. Think of doing the worm. I hope this helps some.

[@RamaAlhorane]

Thank you so much,this is really helpful. Thanks a lot (:

[@reesie7]

this helped me sm! i have a big tournament tmwr, wish me luck😭😭

[@LilithConn-hj7gf]

Can you please make a video how to break your comfort zone to dive cuz it’s hard

[@livvvvv37]

this helped so much but i have a few more questions if you don’t mind: one of them is the drive to get that ball. like i feel like i need to communicate before i do it but then i don’t and just pass the ball or i just stick my arms out and hope for the best. also there’s always extremely hard hitters on my team and others, how can i get a strong mindset to not be afraid bc i have had a concussion before from it 😅 thank you a bunch!!!!!!!

[@bigbird2240]

Need to go to a big university because you are a good leader

[@bebebella-od1iu]

may you please do a dolphin dive tutorial 🙏🙏

[@pearcheese455]

Hello,you are super amazing and Awesome

[@forevvaa]

I just started playing vb in the summer and I want to get a lot better so I can make the hs team next year if anyone have any tips tell me

[@CarmenBanana68]

Weird question but Have you always been a lib?

[@delaneymoon]

pretty much except if I was needed to set or hit on a school team prior to HS.

[@libbabrown-kv7ck]

thank you so much for this!! this is my first season playing libero as playing setter in the past. this will really help me a lot 🪩🪩💞💞🎀🎀

[@thatkid2516]

i tried playing volleyball once and hated it because no on on my team communicated enough to make a solid play. Now i’m going into my freshman year of highschool and want to try out. I’m 5”2 and i’m done growing but i don’t want to be a setter so i want to practice being libero. When did you start and do you have any tips for me just trying now that i’m going into highschool?

[@delaneymoon]

I started when i was 7. Focus on developing your defensive skills. Find some clinics or find a private coach.

[@thatkid2516]

@@delaneymoon okay, thank you!

[@Grizz1416]

I wish the girls could spike the ball because I don’t know if I’m gonna be Libero this year for my high school volleyball team if I make the team this year and if I get put as a Libero I’m afraid I’m not gonna be able to spike the ball and I really want the chance to spike the ball so would they allow it if a Libero was to spike the ball?

[@delaneymoon]

Liberos cannot attack the ball when it is completely above the plane of the net.

[@DaShap]

Why is it called Libero?

[@delaneymoon]

It means free in Italian, signifying the freedom the libero has to come on and off the court

[@DaShap]

@@delaneymoon finally. An answer. lol. I know I could have googled. But wanted answer from a true source . Thank you very much.

[@gemmaissilly]

I js found out I’m a libero and this helped out am🫶💕
