THE ASIAN Volleyball Confederation Women’s Club Championships, which the country will be hosting, will hold its drawing of lots this Wednesday at Foton Showroom in Quezon City.
With the Philippine team composed of players from Foton and other Philippine Superliga teams, PSL officials said they are working to form the “strongest team possible” for the Sept. 3 to 11 event.
Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI) tasked the PSL to organize and put up the squad in the prestigious meet where the finest players in the region gather, carrying their respective clubs.
The Philippines is hoping to get a favorable draw against teams from Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, China, Chinese Taipei, Kazakhstan, North Korea, Iran, Turkmekistan, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Malaysia.
PSL president Ramon “Tats” Suzara will help conduct the draw. He will be assisted by AVC technical delegate Jaksuwan Tocharoen of Thailand.
Three former PSL imports are being eyed to beef up the squad—Kristy Jaeckel, Ariel Usher and Lindsay Stalzer. Only two reinforcements are allowed per team.
The country has never gone past seventh place in the top-tier tournament since taking part in 2006 when Accel represented the Philippines.
