BEST Center 20th Women’s Volleyball League Spikes Off

BEST Center 20th Women’s Volleyball League Spikes Off

The 20th season of Best Center Women’s Volleyball League (WVL), one of the country’s longest-running and biggest volleyball tournaments for girls in the 13-and-under and 17-and-under divisions, has officially started. Organized by the Basketball Efficiency and Scientific Training (BEST) Center and sponsored by Milo, the annual interschool tournament welcomed 60 teams from top-ranked schools in the National Capital Region.

This year, St. Paul College of Makati will defend its title against 12 other teams in the 13 Under Developmental Division while Colegio de San Agustin Makati will battle against 5 teams to retain its crown in the 13 Under Competitive Division.

In the 17 Under Developmental Division, Hope Christian High School will try to retain its title against 20 other teams while La Salle College Antipolo will try to thwart 19 other teams aiming for championship victory in the 17 Under Competitive Division.

Making WVL more exciting and competitive this season is the participation of new teams from St. Dominic Savio College, Young Achiever’s School of Caloocan, Inc., Sisters of Mount Carmel Catholic School, Inc. and San Pedro Relocation National High School.

Welcoming the participants at the opening ceremony at Xavier High School Courts were BEST Center founder Nic Jorge, Milo Sports executive Robbie De Vera and WVL commissioner Florentino “Kid” Santos. The event was also graced by Jose Romasanta, president of Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI) and the spokesperson of the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).

“We’re very excited to host another season of the WVL. This is a great avenue for young girls to showcase their volleyball skills and test their abilities in a major competition. With this tournament, we hope to train and produce more promising volleyball players who will dominate the game in the big leagues someday,” said Jorge.

“WVL has greatly contributed to the development of Philippine volleyball. Aside from building future champions, it also promotes sports and physical fitness to young girls. I won’t be surprised if WVL becomes a permanent fixture in the schools’ sports calendar someday and that future volleyball stars will make it from these ranks,” said De Vera.

Romasanta, on the other hand, commended BEST Center for supporting sports development in the country. “BEST Center has been bringing sports closer to Filipino children and has greatly contributed to the overall development of sports in the country,” he said.

For 20 years, WVL serves as a breeding ground for young girls to showcase their talent and passion for volleyball. BEST Center is confident that the sport will continue to grow in both popularity and equality.

iRover hoverboard by CDR-King

iRover hoverboard by CDR-King

The iRover hoverboard is here!  Is the hoverboard what I expected?  Perhaps not, but it still promises to be a lot of fun. 😀

My first hoverboard encounter was in the movies

Back to the Future 2

Hoverboard from Back to the Future 2, starring Michael J. Fox

remember that I was a teenager when Back To The Future came out in the theaters.  In the sequel where Michael J. Fox goes to the future, I was one of many who saw him use the hoverboard and wished that I had one of my own, too.

It is 2016, one year past when the movie was supposed to be set, and the hoverboard is here!  It isn’t quite the same as what they predicted in the movie — it is not controlled by electromagnetism, it does not actually float, but, to a certain extent, it does give the feeling of hovering, of levitating.

Superman, Magneto, Thor … growing up, I’ve speculated on what super-power I would want to have if I could have one, and levitation or flight was definitely somewhere on the top of the list.  After all, who wouldn’t want the ability to glide effortlessly across the room? Guess what?  To a certain extent, we can do that now!  It’s not the same as in the movie, but the feeling is close enough.
