The Shakey's Super League (SSL) is a women's volleyball league in the Philippines contested within the collegiate and high school levels.[1] The league is organized by Shakey's Pizza Asia Ventures Inc. (SPAVI) and the Athletic Events and Sports Management Group Inc. (ACES).[2][3]

History

[edit]

Background

[edit]

Shakey's Pizza's history with volleyball in the Philippines dates back to 2004 with the Shakey's V-League (SVL). Originally serving a collegiate league, it would later branch into corporate teams similar to the Philippine Basketball Association in 2011. In 2016, the SVL was rebranded to the now-professional Premier Volleyball League (PVL), parting ways with Shakey's. Six years later in 2022, the collegiate division of the PVL was launched separately as the V-League.

In 2013, the Philippine Super Liga (PSL), another voleyball league featuring corporate teams, was launched. The league, which would later be owned by Athletic Events and Sports Management Group Inc. (ACES), rivaled the PVL, but ended up ceasing in 2021 after all of its teams left for the rival league.

Launch

[edit]

With both the SVL and PSL ceasing to exist, ACES partnered with Shakey's (via Shakey's Pizza Asia Ventures Inc.; SPAVI) to form the Shakey's Super League on August 16, 2022. It was formally launched at Shakey's ASEANA outlet in Parañaque as a collegiate colleyball league similar to the SVL.[4]

The SSL's inaugural tournament, the 2022 Collegiate Pre-Season Tournament, from September 22 to November 28, 2022.[4] The first tournament marks the return of full preseasons for the UAAP and NCAA teams since they were forced to resort to tune-ups due to disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

In May 2023, SSL launched the high school-level Girls Volleyball Invitational League (GVIL) with its inaugural edition. It is contested by teams from various associations across the country.[6]

League format and teams

[edit]

The Shakey's Super League consists of three tournaments that are held annually, including two collegiate level and one high school level. The tournaments shown are listed in the order they are held in each calendar year.
