Why is that player wearing a different set of uniform? Isn't she on the same team? Yes. She is called the Libero, the defense specialist of the team. FIVB the international governing body on volleyball has created the Libero role so as to make the game more exciting. As her specialty is defense, her role is pretty much limited to receiving the ball. She is also allowed to pass the ball on the offensive set as long as the ball is on level with the top of the net. She cannot serve the ball. Further the Liberos of each team switching is not considered a regular substitution so they can switch as necessary.
Why are they small? Why can't they be big? They are small because they are supposed to be quicker and more agile. Bigger players tend to be assigned to offensive roles. That is why Dawn Macandili is small and cute. Isn't Denden Lazaro cuter? Bang Pineda would qualify as cute. Katarina Vukomanovic, Yuri Fukuda, Mami Miyashita, Minami Miyagawa and Kristen Moncks? We're talking locals okay. Jen Reyes, cute. Jeck Dionela, cute. No lie folks, this is called the cute attack.
