To give the competing teams more time to prepare, the Premier Volleyball League has moved back the Open Conference launch to March 16 with nine teams seeing action.
Originally slated to kick off its second pro season on Feb. 16, the organizing Sports Vision has decided to move the opening a month later to give the teams at least one-and-a-half months of training to reach competitive level coming off a long break.
“We asked the member teams to give us their inputs and their concerns. After putting all it all together, we decided that the best thing to do for us at this point in time is to move the opening to mid-March,” said Sports Vision and PVL president Ricky Palou. “But we have to shorten our conference to make way for the training of the national team,” Palou added.
