WHAT DOES THE ABSENCE OF PLAYERS MEAN FOR LVPI ?

Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas Incorporated (LVPI) conducted its first training day for the U23 and Senior volleyball teams yesterday. Only 4 girls and 6 boys attended the much-publicized first training day. The incredibly small number of players who attended the said training indicates the utter lack of trust and confidence of the players for the LVPI leadership.

What I find totally surprising is that some of the drumbeaters of LVPI had the gall to post pictures on Twitter of the training. The pictures only show how pathetic the whole training was. Just imagine 4 girls having the whole gym to themselves, exercising and playing. The pictures showed how virtually empty the Ateneo gym was. The pictures only accentuated the failure of LVPI to gather the best and brightest volleyball players the country has.

I can't help but realize that without doing anything at all, Philippine Volleyball Federation (PVF) stands a good chance of shaming LVPI. LVPI does not know when to quit even when the dire results are right in front of its face. The inability to accept defeat could only mean disaster for LVPI.
