The 2015
National PRISAA Games was formally opened last Saturday, April 11, at the West
Visayas Sports Complex here in Iloilo City.
Most of the
games started the following day except for some events that are played in
Central Phillippine University.
For the
softball event, this year’s competition will once again gather the best
softball teams from all regions of the country in one diamond which is
considered by the tournament manager as being at par with the international
softball field standard.
This would
also be the first time that the games will be played in an established diamond
from a home team.
Games will be
played at the Central Philippine University Softball Field and competition will
start on Monday, April 13, at 8am with the defending champion Region 6 Softball
team seeing action against the 2012 runner-up, Region 10.
Games the
following days will start at 7am.
The Region 6
Softbelles, a 3-time National PRISAA Champion and playing in their very own
turf, will be looking forward to defend the title they won last year in Tagum
City against CAR.
The Western
Visayas Softball team is represented by the Central Philippine University
Golden Lions Softball and two softball athletes from Saint Anthony College of
Antique and are coached by Pastor Kim Dela Cruz and Pastor Mark Arliss Cloma.
