The 2024 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference is the eighteenth conference of the
Premier Volleyball League and its ninth conference as a professional league.
This is the second conference for the
2024 season. It was originally slated to be a merged tournament of the Invitational and Reinforced Conferences,[1] but PVL Commissioner Sherwin Malonzo announced in a simultaneous interview during the commencement of the 2024 PVL Draft Combine that this would be a stand-alone Reinforced tournament and that the Invitational Conference will start in September.[2]
Twelve teams will compete in the Reinforced tournament, which have been grouped into two pools. Each team will be allowed to be reinforced by one foreign player. Strong Group Athletics changed its name to
Zus Coffee Thunderbelles.[3]
The PVL Rookie Draft was conducted before the start of the conference. To join, the draft required candidates neither playing experience nor academic qualifications. It was open to all aspiring Filipino and Filipino-foreign citizens ages 21 years old and above who want to play in the professional league.[4][5]
The application for the Rookie Draft was originally scheduled to end on May 31, 2024. But PVL Commissioner Malonzo later announced that it will be moved to June 12, 2024, so that rookies can have time to prepare documents needed for the draft.[6]
The draft combine was held on June 25–26, 2024, and the draft proper was held on July 8, 2024.[7]
Exclusion of the national team players from the upcoming conference
The teams are grouped into two pools using the
serpentine system with the
2024 All-Filipino Conference final standings as the basis for the Top 9 teams. Like the
2023 Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference, the league ensures that sister teams would not be drawn into the same pool.[9] If the sister teams of Farm Fresh and Zus Coffee happen to be placed in Pool A using the serpentine system, for example, they would be separated to prevent immediate collision between them. Thus, Farm Fresh (9th) and Galeries (10th) are placed in Pool A, and Capital1 (11th) and Zus Coffee (12th) are placed in Pool B.
The following are the foreign guest players for the upcoming conference. Each team are only allowed to have one foreign player and could only replace them mid-conference if they suffer from injuries or if the player (not the team) abandon their commitment.[24]
