Highlights

• From five players the group now has 24 active members who play every Sunday
• The group is open to both female and male volleyball players
• Everyone is welcome to play from beginners to experienced volleyball players

The Filipino Volleyball Club aims to give Pinays/Filipinas the opportunity play and bond on a weekly basis similar to Pinoys who play basketball

 'I was watching a basketball game, the women were just there watching their husbands play. I thought, why not form a volley group for Pinays and I asked the help of Filipino Ballers Club' - Maybelline Ong Poon from the Filipino Volleyball Club.
