Our libero has mittens sown onto her sleeves that enable her to slide her hand along the floor when making digs out of her body line.

If you ever look at our HS or Club Libero's long sleeve top, you will see little holes and snags all over it from diving after balls. It seems like we have to order Libero tops more often than other ones. I would guess they get more wear and tear than the others do. Jasonr you may be talking about the sleeves that we saw the Chinese teams wear. They are suppose to help them recover quicker, some of their tops have them over one shoulder (the hitting side) or on the legs. They are tight and like compression shorts you see FB players wear. They swear by them. Not only do they wear them after games, they often are seen under their uniforms. As for the rash guard sleeves you are seeing some hitters wear, (sort of like the ones the college and NBA players wear) supposedly in BB they wear them so that when they dunk they have some padding for protection. I have seen some VB players wear them, but I can't imagine that as a hitter your forearms would get torn up from your follow through into the tape at the top of the net. Maybe someone else on here knows more about them then I.

One of our liberos only wears a mitten on her right hand because she only digs balls to her right.

I wasn't really talking about libero jersey color, but more the equipment/apparel needs that liberos may need that are different from the other positions / players. Hockey goalies wear more padding, and a soccer goalies wear long sleeve shirts, and wear gloves and sometimes headgear. I suggest the physical demands of the libero position creates the nessessity for additional protective apparel/equipment

One of our liberos only wears a mitten on her right hand because she only digs balls to her right. Is she the queen of pop-ups?

Total placebo effect but me and at least two of my buddies all swear that long sleeves help us pass better

Are you talking about the passing bands? I've heard college coaches swear they work miracles. We were given them by Munciana (who has them custom made) to try on our athletes and get feedback. I can tell you they rave about them. We never advocated them, or told them they need to where them, they love them. What about them did they rave about? Do they help passing in any way?
