V-League listup ongoing; camp starts March 26

MANILA, Philippines – The roster in the Shakey’s V-League summer camp continues to swell with two days left before the eight-day session is held March 26-April 2 at the Ateneo Blue Eagle gym in Quezon City.

Organizers said the field will be limited to 250 which will be divided into morning and afternoon sessions to give participants proper and effective one-on-one training.

Participants can still join at the start of the camp on Saturday. Fee is pegged at P3,000, inclusive of meals, official Shakey’s V-League Summer Camp T-shirt, sports bottle, towel and tote bag.

The campers will also get free entry to the games in the eighth Shakey’s V-League which kicks off its two-conference season on April 3 at the San Juan Arena.

The summer camp, part of Shakey’s advocacy program to support and develop the sport and re-introduce it especially to the Filipino youth, is for girls aged 9-16 years who aspire to become future volleyball stars.

It offers the scientific way of teaching volleyball where participants can learn the basics like serving, dig pass and bump toss from Shakey’s V-League stars, including sisters Michelle and Mayette Carolino, Suzanne Roces, Paulina Soriano, Rachel Daquis, Joy Benito, Angela Benting, Bea Pascual, Melissa Mirasol and Margarita Pepito.

The sessions also offer training similar to what volleyball players do, such as teaching the proper body form, correct arm and hand movement and other preparatory exercises.
