The Philippines is a country who loves Basketball. You'll see basketball courts at every street in cities and even in provinces.
But just recently, more people have been watching volleyball in sports arenas. My wife is an avid fan of the sport, and so she's been watching volleyball games in a local sports channel whenever there's a game. I've noticed that more and more people are present every time we catch a game on TV.
Volleyball is a fun and challenging sport. I hope even more people would patronize the game.

Volleyball is very big in the U,S. Beach volleyball is extremely popular. Colleges recruit high school kids and offer scholarships. You see kids playing it on our beaches recreationally. That is great your country is enjoying such a fun sport as volleyball!

Yes, volleyball is on the rise in the Philippines, especially women's volleyball. It's got as much action as basketball but less contact with the opponents. I love it when the players do their plays and attacks. It's a thrilling game.

Yes it's easy to promote in our country since you do not need expensive special equipment only a ball and existing basketball courts could easily be converted to a volleyball court.

When we have family get togethers, the whole family enjoys getting outside to play volleyball. My daughter plays for a Christian school and loves it. Her dream is to get a college scholarship for volleyball. She wants to go to college to become a lawyer.

Volleyball is indeed popular here in our country. Not as popular as basketball but it is getting there. No doubt, having a set of beautiful players have helped volleyball to be popular among the masses nowadays.
