Question Thanks sooo much steve i have been looking for a club team and i could not find one but now i have thanks to you. I also have another question i am about 5'6 and everyone says you are too short to play, but if i make my school team i will probably play back row. the coach tells me that i have a great platform and that i can pass really well. Am i too short to be a larbaro and if i am not too short do you think i should pursue being a labaro or try to become good at another position?
Answer Tie,
At 5'6" you will NEVER get a chance to play front in college. BUT the libero position was made for players like you. Fast, great platform and willing to just play defense. So to answer your question, yes you should work real hard at becoming a libero.
