LIVE UPDATES: 2024 PVL Rookie Draft
MANILA, Philippines – For the first time in Philippine professional volleyball history, the Premier Volleyball League is holding its long-awaited Rookie Draft at the Novotel Hotel in Quezon City on Monday, July 8, at 7 pm.
All 12 teams in the league are set to pick up prospects who have not had previous PVL experience, with the rebranded ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles (formerly Strong Group Athletics) set to pick first overall, as determined by a lottery held last June 24.
Following the lottery-determined second to fourth picks – to be made by Capital1, Galeries Tower, and Farm Fresh, respectively – picks will then be made by teams with the next worst records based of the most recent conference, the 2024 All-Filipino tilt.
Like the PBA draft, subsequent rounds will then go through a snake format, with the last team to select in the first round picking first in the next.
Teams’ chances to pick will end the moment they first pass on any round, and the draft will only end until all teams have passed.
A total of 47 hopefuls are on the board for the inaugural draft.
