“We are doing this seminar in order to raise the level of coaching in the MVBA by bringing the top Filipino coaches to Cebu to share their knowledge,” said MVBA founder Raul Alcoseba, also a Cebu City councilor. “I’m sure our coaches will learn a lot during this three-day seminar.”
Meanwhile, the league will also conduct the MVBA Invitational Tournament on Aug. 21-26 at the Cebu Coliseum featuring MVBA squads against Metro Manila teams.
MVBA teams led by M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu, the First Conference champion, and runner-up PacMan-GenSan, will take on the TeleTech Titans of the Philippine Basketball League and possibly another PBL team.
