PVL stars set for Volleyball All-Star showcase in Candon

The country’s biggest volleyball stars are preparing for a night that will celebrate the sport’s growing popularity and the players who continue to elevate it.

On May 1, the Volleyball All-Star Showcase will bring together the top talents from the Premier Volleyball League and Spikers’ Turf at the Candon City Arena, creating a rare stage where the sport’s elite gather not for standings, but for spectacle.

The event highlights both the women’s and men’s professional leagues, with the PVL All-Star Game pitting Team Heart against Team Hustle, while the Spikers’ Turf All-Star Game features Team Power battling Team Passion.

Each team will be composed of 14 players drawn from across the leagues, blending the sport’s most recognizable names with the season’s statistical standouts.

Fans will play a direct role in shaping the All-Star starting lineups through a public voting process. Supporters can select seven starters per team — two outside hitters, one opposite hitter, two middle blockers, one setter, and one libero — from a pool of candidates identified through statistical rankings and position.

Voting officially opened Sunday, March 15 and will run until April 11 through the league’s website at https://pvl.ph/allstar.

The final starting units will reflect a combination of fan support and coaching input, though coaches will not be permitted to vote for players from their own teams, a safeguard designed to balance popularity with competitive fairness.

Beyond the fan-voted starters, the remaining seven roster spots per team will be determined through a broader selection process involving head coaches, players, team managers, and several league bodies, including the PVL Control Committee, referee and technical committee, broadcast panel and production staff, as well as members of the PVL and Press Corps.

Coaching assignments for the All-Star squads will also reward teams performing well in the current season. The head coaches will come from the top two teams at the end of the preliminary rounds of the ongoing Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference and the Spikers’ Turf Open Conference, with those coaches selecting their own assistants for the event.

To keep the games competitive while giving every player time on the court, the showcase will follow special lineup rules.

The fan-selected starters will begin the match and remain on the floor until the 16th point of the opening set. The reserve players will then take over to start the second set, ensuring the full roster gets involved early.

In the third set, the starters will return and play until the eighth point before coaches are allowed to make open substitutions, giving all 14 players an opportunity to contribute.

Beyond the All-Star matches themselves, the showcase will also feature several skill competitions designed to highlight individual talents across the rosters. Among the featured events are the Setter Challenge, Digging Challenge, and Serving Challenge, with participants drawn from the selected All-Stars.

Together, the festivities promise a full day dedicated to volleyball’s finest — a gathering of the players who continue to drive the sport’s momentum across the Philippines.
