The organization currently operates the women's [Premier Volleyball League](/source/Premier_Volleyball_League), the men's [Spikers' Turf](/source/Spikers'_Turf), and the collegiate [V-League](/source/V-League_(Philippines)) and [its Visayas counterpart](/source/V-League_Visayas). It has also helped organize events held in the country such as the [2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Champions League](/source/2025_AVC_Women's_Volleyball_Champions_League). ## History Sports Vision was originally composed of four entrepreneurs with prior experience in [basketball](/source/Basketball): former [Ateneo Blue Eagle](/source/Ateneo_Blue_Eagles_men's_basketball) and [Manila Industrial and Commercial Athletic Association](/source/Manila_Industrial_and_Commercial_Athletic_Association) (MICAA) player [Ricky Palou](/source/Ricky_Palou), former [Philippine Basketball Association](/source/Philippine_Basketball_Association) commissioner [Jun Bernardino](/source/Jun_Bernardino), former [Asian Basketball Confederation](/source/Asian_Basketball_Confederation) secretary-general [Moying Martelino](/source/Moying_Martelino), and [Qatar Basketball Federation](/source/Qatar_Basketball_Federation) supervisor [Rhea Navarro](/source/Rhea_Navarro).[1] In an interview with Lito Cinco of *BusinessMirror*, Palou said that he “saw the beauty of women’s volleyball” and later suggested Sports Vision to create a volleyball league though he wasn't sure if the league would become successful.[2] This led to the creation of the [Shakey's V-League](/source/Shakey's_V-League) in 2004 as part of a partnership with title sponsor [Shakey's Pizza](/source/Shakey's_Pizza). In 2015, Sports Vision launched a men's counterpart to the SVL, [Spikers' Turf](/source/Spikers'_Turf). Martelino stated that men's volleyball didn't have that same popularity as women's volleyball and that the organization "has a feeling if we do the same with the men’s; it will be as popular.”[3] In 2017, the Shakey's V-League rebranded as the [Premier Volleyball League](/source/Premier_Volleyball_League). The PVL featured both women's and men's divisions, with the latter being merged from Spikers' Turf.[4] One year later in 2018, Spikers' Turf was reinstated as its own separate league and entity.[5] While the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) temporarily put a stop on league play, the PVL was on the process of turning into a professional league.[6] The [2021 PVL season](/source/2021_Premier_Volleyball_League_season) marked the league's first professional season.[7] During this time, Spikers' Turf also began the process of turning pro.[8] The PVL's professionalization, however, meant that collegiate teams can no longer participate. Thus in 2022, the [V-League](/source/V-League_(Philippines)) was established as its own entity, while also serving as a revival of the SVL. The new V-League is essentially a merger of both the PVL's and Spikers' Turf's Collegiate Conferences, now under a single league.[9] In 2025, a regional counterpart for [Visayas](/source/Visayas)-based teams was launched with [V-League Visayas](/source/V-League_Visayas).[10] In 2025, Sports Vision helped organize the [2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Champions League](/source/2025_AVC_Women's_Volleyball_Champions_League), hosted by the Philippines in [Pasig](/source/Pasig).[11] ## Leagues and events organized - [Shakey's V-League](/source/Shakey's_V-League) (2004–2016) - [Spikers' Turf](/source/Spikers'_Turf) (2015–present) - [Premier Volleyball League](/source/Premier_Volleyball_League) (2017–present) - [V-League](/source/V-League_(Philippines)) (2022–present) - [V-League Visayas](/source/V-League_Visayas) (2025–present) - [2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Champions League](/source/2025_AVC_Women's_Volleyball_Champions_League) ## References 1.
