With no professional volleyball tournament this 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippine Superliga (PSL) is already mapping out their grandest plans for their 2021 season return.

PSL chairman Philip Ella Juico shared that with a disappointing 2020 for Philippine volleyball, they are vowing to come back stronger this 2021 and give a treat to the thousands of volleyball fans in the country.

In March 2021, the PSL will most likely hold its first indoor volleyball conference and will be followed by another conference in June or July.

“The PSL board is meeting right now and without trying to pre-empt everyone, the plan is to have three regular conferences in addition to the beach volleyball,” said Juico.

Originally planned to stage the PSL Beach Volleyball Challenge Cup this November, Juico and his team decided to postpone and move the tournament due to extreme weather conditions brought by the previous typhoon.

The absence of the Beach Volleyball Challenge Cup made it final that there will be no professional volleyball league to be pushed through this 2020 that left thousands of fans in dismay.
