The Spikers' Turf is a men's volleyball league in the Philippines established in 2015 by Sports Vision Management Group, Inc. and PLDT Home Ultera as the male counterpart of the Shakey's V-League. Its inaugural tournament began on April 5, 2015.[1][2]
History
In 2014, the Shakey's V-League introduced a men's division during its 21st conference.[3][4][5] The following year, Sports Vision, the organizers of the Shakey's V-League decided to spin-off the men's division as a separate tournament, giving birth to the Spikers' Turf.
