Not sure where you're located, if you're in Taiwan or you have family and friends there, I hope everyone is safe

Each of the five teams winning the various league tournaments in Japan and Korea, so far this year, have a player from Southaest Asia :

Well Done Girls !

and to every player from Southeast Asia playing around the world, you’ve all made an impact for your teams and we’re all very proud of you

It was a good season

Now we wait for the KOVO Asian Quota Draft Applicants for next season. Hoping we have SEA applicants again (the countries who can apply are now expanded) Tryout will be May 6 in Dubai.

Quote from Julian Chow

Btw Any idea which two overseas teams will play in the reinforced/invitational ? I imagine Kurashiki would be one of them...

I haven't seen anything about this yet. This will be an interesting season also since the Reinforced and Invitational Conference will be combined for the first time So, the conference will still have two foreign guest teams participating (Invitational Conference), while the local clubs will be allowed to field one foreign player each (Reinforced Conference)

The ongoing All Filipino Conference is the league's most unpredictable season yet, with 6 strong teams and still unclear who will get into the final four. Creamline who almost always sweeps the tournament now has 2 losses

Current stat leaders are here. Fil-Am Brooke Van Sickle from the NCAA might just win the MVP this time:

We know this already but we just got reminded by AVC…. I will surely watch games live

4T to Kuzeyboru in Turkey next season! I kind of expected her to go to Korea but I'm happy also that she'll go to Turkey

Quote from Julian Chow

If they send their best selection.. top players for each position, team PH could win this one

Probably will give a fight but Vietnam and Indonesia are there

Posting here also. Rooting for our players!

KOVO Asian Quota Tryout List:

Please share with us your top picks I'm familiar with the Thai and Philippine players and little bit about Vietnamese players. Oddly enough, not too much Japanese players.

Not too optimistic about her chances but I would really want to see Tots Carlos (Diana Mae) get drafted. She’s the best player in the Philippines in recent years and I hope she gets to experience playing overseas. Not that optimistic though given she’s a short Opp although atleast she plays OH also 😅 Hoping she gets a chance!

For the Japanese players, Kanna Hanazawa is NEC’s reserve setter. She was the 3rd in setter depth and did not get playing time in the regular league, but played some at VCup. I would pick Pornpun over her if I need a setter definitely.

I believe Megawati and Wipawee will be drafted again for sure.
