THE country’s inaugural volleyball Champions League kicks off with the women’s tournament this Saturday, Nov. 20, followed by the men’s contest a week after at the Aquamarine Recreational Center gym in Lipa City, Batangas.
The Champions League is the only national sports association-organized league during the pandemic outside of professional basketball.
Six clubs are competing in the six-day, single-round robin women’s side that will be staged in a bubble setup, according to the organizing Philippine National Volleyball Federation.
PetroGazz will test the mettle of Baguio City in the opener at 10 a.m., while F2 Logistics will take on California Precision Sports at 1:30 p.m. Chery Tiggo and Tuguegarao Perlas Spikers cap the opening day tripleheader at 4 p.m.
There will be three games every day until Nov. 25. The team with the most number of victories will claim the bragging rights as the first title holder in the Champions League.
