MANILA—California Precision Sports-Antipolo (CPS) and Parañaque Green Berets scored dominant wins to start the girls’ pool play matches of the Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) Under-18 Championships on Friday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. 

CPS of coach Dr. Obet Estrella Vital relied on their experience playing as a regular team and with precision attacks beat Marikina Titans Volleyball Club, 25-11, 25-11, in a Pool D match.

Parañaque Green Berets, on the other hand, beat New Gen. Sta. Cruz Laguna, 25-11, 25-18, in Pool A, while Grace Christian College Foundation of Taguig City downed Parañaque Thunderbolts Volleyball Club (PVC), 25-20, 25-18, in Pool B action. 

“The players performed well to my expectations although half of them are new,” said Vital. “I’m really happy and we’re hoping we continue winning.”

CPS goes for win No. 2 against Santa Rosa City at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday in the 36-team—20 girls and 16 boys—championships that will be played for four consecutive Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Matches with the medal play for both genders are set on March 12.
