The Philippine SuperLiga All-Stars is a volleyball selection team composing of players from the Philippine Super Liga (PSL).[1]
History
2016 Thai-Denmark Super League
The Philippine Super Liga was invited to participate in the 2016 Women's Volleyball Thai-Denmark Super League in Bangkok, Thailand. The league decided to send a selection team instead of one of the clubs competing in the league. The selection of players was done around late February 2016.[2] The team played in the tournament as the Petron-Philippine SuperLiga All-Stars. PSL President Ramon Suzara, who used to be the secretary general of the Philippine Amateur Volleyball Association (PAVA) when the country won the last gold medal in the Southeast Asian Games women's volleyball in 1993, stated in a press release that the PSL All-Stars selection is a "fighting team".[3] The 14-member team, coached by George Pascua of the Petron Tri-Activ Spikers and assisted by Michael Cariño of the Cignal HD Spikers, was announced in March 1, 2016.[1] Pascua appointed Rachel Anne Daquis of the RC Cola-Army Troopers as the team captain.[4]
The PSL All-Stars lost all its group stage matches against Bangkok Glass, Idea Khonkaen and 3BB Nakhonnont, but managed to win at least a set against each of the teams except Idea Khonkaen.[5] The team won in an exhibition game outside the scope of the tournament against the Hong Kong women's national volleyball team which was also held in Bangkok.[6]
The lineup for future all-star selections will depend on player availability and the PSL calendar.
Future participation
Organizers of a volleyball tournament in Croatia has also expressed their interest to invite the PSL All Stars team in a tourney to be held on July, coinciding with the 2016 PSL All Filipino Conference, according to Suzara, who is also the adviser of Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI). The team also invited to participate in a friendly match with the Hong Kong women's national volleyball team on June 12, 2016.[7] The Hong Kong invitation was confirmed.[8]
The PSL will field its all-star selection for other tournaments, such as the 2016 FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Championship to be hosted at home in Pasay from October 18–23, 2016.[9] The league selection will serve as the country's representatives in the tournament instead of a professional club side.
