    Volleyball teams are allowed substitutions to replace tired players on the court. Substitutions must be approved by the referee and involve replacing one player on the court with another player from the bench between the centerline and attack line. Teams can make a certain number of substitutions per set depending on the level of play, from 18 in youth volleyball to 6 in professional matches. Replacing the libero player is handled differently and is unlimited between two designated libero players.

    Substitution
    Rules

    Volleyball
    Substitutions
    At all levels, volleyball is a 6-on-6
    sport, meaning there are six players on
    the court for each team at all times.
    Since volleyball games aren’t timed,
    sets can run long, and players can get
    tired, so it makes sense that the same
    six don’t play the whole game. They are
    substituted out.
    Substitutions
    Substituting is the act of replacing one or more
    players of a team on the court, with players from the
    benches. These players have to be on the team roster and
    noted on the score sheet. Substitution rules apply to all
    players except for the libero and their replacement.
    When a player is going in for a substitution, they must
    wait on the sideline between the centerline and attack
    line. Once both players have met on the sideline, they
    must wait for the referee and scorer’s table to officially
    allow the substitution to take place.
    When Does Substitution Happen in
    Volleyball?
    Coaches must request a substitution, which is then
    approved by the second referee. The substitution may
    be announced by the scorer or the second referee but is
    always authorized by the second referee in professional
    play. Incoming players often hold paddles with
    numbers during substitution to tell players still on the
    court who they are replacing.
    How Often Can a Volleyball
    Team Make Substitutions?

    Players are allowed to leave and re-enter the game once during each set.
    When a player comes back into the game, they have to return to their original
    position. If this rule is not followed, it is considered an illegal substitution.
    Exceptions are made for when a player is injured, and this is called an exceptional
    substitution. In this case, the player should be substituted legally. If not, any
    player, except the libero, can fill the spot of the injured player.
    How Often Can a Volleyball
    Team Make Substitutions?

    The number of substitutions per set varies per level of play. In youth
    volleyball, you are permitted 18 substitutions per set. Meanwhile, in collegiate
    volleyball, teams are allowed 15 substitutions per set. Lastly, n professional
    FIVB games, teams are only permitted to make six substitutions per set.
    Libero Replacement
    Replacing the Libero player is not considered a substitution, so it is not counted in
    the allotted amount per game and has some different rules:

    • Teams may designate one or two liberos.

    • Liberos can only replace back-row players.

    • Liberos can only be replaced by the second libero.

    • If a team plays with two liberos, replacements between the two liberas are
    unlimited.
    Libero Replacement
    • If a team plays with one libero and that player becomes unable to play, the team
    may remove that player and re-designate a new libero, who will remain at the
    position for the rest of the match.

    • There must be a completed rally between two libero replacements.

    • The libero replacement must be approved by the second referee at the


    beginning of each set.

    • The replacement must happen when the ball is dead.

    • The players must enter and exit through the libero replacement zone
