The organizers of the Premier Volleyball League have tentatively scheduled their first conference on April 10 at the Inspire Sports Academy in Calamba, Laguna.
Pending approval from the Interagency Task Force, the scheduled Open Conference will be the league’s first tournament since it turned pro last November.
It will also be the first volleyball tournament since the pandemic halted local sporting events for most of last year.
League Commissioner Tony Liao said they have booked the venue for a month where the tournament will be under a bubble concept similar to the PBA held in Clark.
The conference will be limited to eight teams consisting of Creamline, Petro Gazz, Motolite, BanKo Perlas, Choco Mucho, BaliPure-Chef’s Classics and two invited teams.
“Once we get the start signal from the IATF that the Fun and Games Board is helping us, practices will resume immediately,” Liao said.
Since turning pro last November, the league has been working to gain approval for team training from the IATF.
At the moment, only professional basketball, 3 × 3 basketball, soccer, and boxing leagues can host tournaments and practices.
But with IATF approval for Olympic qualifying and hopeful training, the league is optimistic that volleyball will make a comeback soon.
