The Philippine Super Liga (PSL) is the first semi-professional corporate club volleyball league in the Philippines. It is organized by SportsCore Event Management and Consultancy, Inc. The league is envisioned to provide former collegiate players a league with which they can continue with their volleyball career.[1][2]
The PSL began as a women's league during its inaugural tournament. A men's division was added for the succeeding tournament.[3][4] After the formation of Spikers' Turf, the men's division tournament was discontinued.
The chairman is Philip Ella Juico (also the chairman of the Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association or PATAFA); FIVB official, AVC development and marketing chairman and Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI) adviser Ramon "Tats" Suzara is the league's president, while volleyball TV analyst Dr. Adrian Laurel is the league's commissioner.
The league is recognized by the LVPI, the FIVB and the AVC. The league maintains strong ties with the international governing bodies, adhering by the rules and regulations set by the FIVB and AVC.[5] The PSL became a FIVB-accredited club league and its teams and players also became registered with the FIVB.[6]
