Prizes will also be presented to the outstanding individual players including the MVP, best setter, best spiker, best defence, best blocker, best server and best libero in both categories.
According to Girdhari, teams will be outfitted in different coloured Rick Sakawat T-Shirts. The competition will be played on a “round-robin” basis and the action is scheduled to commence at 9:30 hrs. Teams are urged to be punctual for the opening ceremony since latecomers will be penalized.
