The Philippine SuperLiga All-Stars is a volleyball selection team composing of players from the Philippine Super Liga (PSL).[1]

History

2016 Thai-Denmark Super League

The Philippine Super Liga was invited to participate in the 2016 Women's Volleyball Thai-Denmark Super League in Bangkok, Thailand. The league decided to send a selection team instead of one of the clubs competing in the league. The selection of players was done around late February 2016.[2] The team played in the tournament as "Petron-PSL". PSL president Ramon Suzara, who used to be the secretary general of the Philippine Amateur Volleyball Association (PAVA) when the country won the last gold medal in the Southeast Asian Games women's volleyball in 1993, stated in a press release that the PSL All-Stars selection is a "fighting team".[3] The 14-member team, coached by George Pascua of the Petron Tri-Activ Spikers and assisted by Michael Cariño of the Cignal HD Spikers, was announced in March 1, 2016.[1] Pascua appointed Rachel Anne Daquis of the RC Cola-Army Troopers as the team captain.[4]

The PSL All-Stars lost all its group stage matches against Bangkok Glass, Idea Khonkaen and 3BB Nakhonnont, but managed to win at least a set against each of the teams except Idea Khonkaen.[5] The team won in an exhibition game outside the scope of the tournament against the Hong Kong women's national volleyball team which was also held in Bangkok.[6]

Organizers of a volleyball tournament in Croatia has also expressed their interest to invite the PSL All Stars team in a tourney to be held on July, coinciding with the 2016 PSL All Filipino Conference, according to Suzara, who is also the adviser of Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI). The team was also invited to participate in a friendly match with the Hong Kong women's national volleyball team on June 12, 2016.[7] The Hong Kong invitation was confirmed.[8] although the match didn't push through.

2016 FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Championship

The PSL fielded its all-star selection for the 2016 FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Championship to be hosted at home in Pasay from October 18–23, 2016.[9]

27 players from the 8 participating PSL clubs were invited to participate in tryouts held at the Filoil Flying V Centre to determine 7 Philippine-based players who will compose the team that will participate at the international tournament.[10] Six additional foreign players will be selected by the FIVB. It was planned that starting in July 2016, one player that will be part of the team will be announced to the public every week.[11] Although the first two players, Rachel Anne Daquis and Jovelyn Gonzaga, to form the team was announced earlier on June 30, 2016.[12]

The team management also tapped Japan women's national volleyball team assistant coach Shun Takahashi as a head coach of the team in early September 2016[13] but Takahashi was later reassigned as 1st assistant coach later in the same month following the appointment of Serbian mentor Moro Branislav as head coach. Branislav was stated to be the first choice coach from the start by the management and was just waiting for the Serbian coach to be available.[14] Daquis was named as the team captain.[15]

On September 30, 2016, the PSL announced that the team will be sponsored by F2 Logistics Philippines, Inc. and will compete under the name "PSL-F2 Logistics Manila".[16] Foton was also named as the official transportation provider while Turkish Airlines was designated as official airlines of the team.[17]

PSL-F2 Logistics Manila lost all of its three games in the preliminary round, only winning a set against Turkish club Eczacıbaşı VitrA, the defending champions. Then they lost to Hisamitsu Springs in the classification round for 5th to 8th place.[18] The Philippine team finished last out of the 8 participating teams in the tournament after losing to Thai club Bangkok Glass in the 7th place playoff.[19]

2017 Asian Women's Club Championship

On May 9, 2017, the PSL announced that the PSL All-Stars would be fielded in the 2017 AVC Women's Club Championship in place of the Foton Tornadoes, after Foton begged off due to its depleted roster. The team played as "Rebisco-PSL Manila" with an All-Filipino lineup coached by Francis Vicente.[20] The team was winless and finished last.[21]
