AFTER experiencing some delay, the Philippine Superliga (PSL) Beach Volleyball Challenge Cup finally pushes through this weekend at the sand courts of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority in Zambales.
Originally set to take place in November, the tournament was deferred to a later date because of the impending threat by Typhoon Ulysses then.
The Challenge Cup, presented by Gatorade, will be a three-day event beginning on Friday and feature eight competing teams.
It will be the first volleyball event to take place since restrictions were put in place by authorities last year to guard against the coronavirus; something not lost to the organizers of the event, which is why they made sure they covered everything needed so as to ensure the safe conduct of the tournament.
