Reigning University Athletic Association of the Philippines champion De La Salle University and National Collegiate Athletic Association titlist College of Saint Benilde headline a stacked cast as the Shakey’s Super League stages another breakthrough tourney in the National Invitationals.

Top teams from the UAAP, NCAA, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao comprise the 12-team field slugging it out for the prestigious national title starting Saturday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.

It’s another historic venture for volleyball patron Shakey’s, in partnership with Athletic Events and Sports Management Inc, after launching two upstart tournaments for the benefit of the Philippine volleyball development from the ground up.

Shakey’s held the first Collegiate Pre-Season Championship last year featuring all 18 teams from the UAAP and NCAA before gathering the country’s 16 best high school teams for the Girls’ Volleyball Invitational League this summer.

This time, another bumper crop of talents seen as the country’s future will be on full display.

Joining La Salle and Saint Benilde are Adamson and University of Santo Tomas from the UAAP, Lyceum of the Philippines University and University of Perpetual Help System Dalta from the NCAA.

Completing the cast are Luzon bets La Salle-Dasmariñas and Enderun Colleges, University of San Jose Recoletos and University of Southern Philippines from Cebu as well as Notre Dame of Dadiangas University and Jose Maria College Foundation of Davao City from Mindanao.

All teams, with coaches and officials from Shakey’s and ACES, will be introduced in the official press conference on Friday at 2 p.m. at the Shakey’s E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue in Quezon City.
