2015 PSL season
The 2015 PSL season is the third season of the Philippine Super Liga. There were two indoor conferences for the season – the All-Filipino, and the Grand Prix. It staged its first beach volleyball tournament, the Challenge Cup, for the women's and men's divisions.
Developments
- The PSL is now sanctioned under the Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc., the newest governing body for volleyball in the Philippines under the leadership of POC 1st Vice President Joey Romasanta, aside for being recognized by the AVC and the FIVB. The PSL was first sanctioned by the Philippine Volleyball Federation until the federation was stripped of its recognition by the local and foreign sport governing bodies. The LVPI also supported the stints of Cignal and Petron who participated in the Asian Club Championships, and helped on the processing of the imports transfer clearances for the 12 imports that played in the Grand Prix.
- The PSL introduced the use of "skorts", a combination of tennis-like skirts and shorts, as part of the women's uniforms during the All Filipino Conference, but it was discontinued during the PSL Grand Prix.
- Continuous coaching and players, television crew, officiating, volleyball information system, press corps and medical seminars.
- After the introduction of the Men's Division in the PSL in 2013, the PSL launched the Beach Volleyball division thru the Challenge Cup and Open Series.
- The PSL's official newspaper, PSL Trending, managed by the PSL Press Corps under its president, Marc Anthony Reyes of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. PSL Trending is given to the fans for free at the venues during gamedays.
- The PSL has partnered with the TV5 Network for three years starting 2015, for broadcast and online coverage.
- The PSL became the third Southeast Asian-based volleyball club league to utilize the video challenge system to decide crucial calls of the games for a fair and balanced officiating, as part of the full compliance to the FIVB rules. The video challenge equipment arrived on October 26, 2015 and was used during the second round of the 2015 Grand Prix conference.
