The Shakey's Super League (SSL) is a women's volleyball league in the Philippines contested within the collegiate and high school levels.^[1] The league is organized by Shakey's Pizza Asia Ventures Inc. (SPAVI) and the Athletic Events and Sports Management Group Inc. (ACES).^[2]^[3]

History

Background

Shakey's Pizza's history with volleyball in the Philippines dates back to 2004 with the Shakey's V-League (SVL). Originally serving as a women's collegiate league, it would branch into semi-professional corporate-backed teams similar to the Philippine Basketball Association in 2011. In 2016, the SVL was rebranded to the now-professional Premier Volleyball League (PVL), parting ways with Shakey's. In 2022, the collegiate division of the PVL was launched separately as the V-League.

Meanwhile, the Philippine Super Liga (PSL), another volleyball league featuring corporate teams, was launched in 2013. The league, which would later be owned by Athletic Events and Sports Management Group Inc. (ACES), rivaled the SVL - and later, the PVL, but ended up ceasing operations in 2021 after all of its teams left for the rival league.

Launch

With both the SVL's reorganization and the PSL folding, ACES partnered with Shakey's (via Shakey's Pizza Asia Ventures Inc.; SPAVI) to form the Shakey's Super League on August 16, 2022. It was formally launched at Shakey's ASEANA outlet in Parañaque as a collegiate volleyball league similar to the SVL.^[4]

The SSL's inaugural tournament, the 2022 Collegiate Pre-Season Tournament, ran from September 22 to November 28, 2022.^[4] The first tournament marked the return of full pre-seasons for the UAAP and NCAA teams since they were forced to resort to tune-ups due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.^[5]

In May 2023, SSL launched the high school-level Girls Volleyball Invitational League (GVIL) with its inaugural edition. It was contested by teams from various associations across the country.^[6]

League format and teams

The Shakey's Super League consists of three tournaments that are held annually, including two collegiate level and one high school level. The tournaments shown are listed in the order they are held in each calendar year.

The Shakey's Girls Volleyball Invitational League (GVIL), is the SSL's high school competition.

Teams qualify for the tournament by either finishing in a qualifying position in their association or regional qualifier. In celebration of Shakey's 50th year anniversary, this year 2025 edition tournament will be in a three-leg nationwide tour. The SSL came up with a tour-style format to showcase the talents of provincial squads in front of their home crowd. Davao will host the first leg, with the next two legs being held in Cebu and Batangas.^[9] The Shakey's Super League (SSL) National Invitationals is inclined to continue its three-leg format in future editions after receiving positive response from participating teams and fans.^[10]
