UAAP 71 Ateneo de Manila High School game sked
Venue: UE GymAugust 9, Saturday 12:30pm - ADMU vs UST
August 10, Sunday 11:00am - ADMU vs DLSZ
August 16, Saturday 9:30am - ADMU vs UPIS
August 17, Sunday 9:30am - ADMU vs UE
August 22, Friday 2:00pm - ADMU vs NU
As part of promoting the UAAP Juniors Volleyball, I decided to interview players from the Ateneo de Manila High School, since as most people said, they, together with the University of the East High School are the favorites this year to make it to the Finals. I decided to interview first the contender while the interview from the 4-peat defending champion will come soon.
There are four Blue Eaglets that I interviewed namely Neil Flores, Tomie Rivera, JP Pareja and team captain Gelo Caancan. Neil and JP both play as open spikers, Tomie plays as setter while Gelo plays utility.
1. So first off, what is the significance of your jersey number?
Tomie: I chose/ picked number 7 as my jersey number because it’s the “perfect” number. Hehe. It makes me strive harder in practices and games to be, if not the best, the better player that I can be.
Gelo: 8 Because it is Coach Cha’s jersey number! Hahaha! Kidding. From what I’ve heard, the Chinese consider this number as good luck, though I’m not Chinese. Haha! It has long been my number and I guess it just got stuck with me.
JP: 13? Because when I was in grade school, many believed that 13 was an unlucky number. With this in mind, I said to myself that I must prove them wrong. That’s all.
Neil: My jersey number is #1. Being the best is being #1. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to excel in the sport that is why I tell myself that I am the best so that my confidence would be boosted. (Hindi ako mayabang ha!) hahaha!
2. What are your preparations this coming UAAP?
Tomie: Now, we are really training very hard. We have our trainings five times a week.
Gelo: We have training sessions and tune-up games with different teams to help us get ready for the upcoming UAAP. We really focus on defense because it’s something we lacked last UAAP. Hopefully, all our hard work would pay off this season.
JP: For this coming season, we’ve been practicing at least thrice a week. Included in our training program are the tune-ups with different teams and our physical training for good conditioning in the upcoming tournament.
Neil: Our UAAP line up is composed of seniors. This is our last year in the AHSVT that is we told ourselves that we would give everything we have to get the crown. We have prepared by doing countless drills in blocking, spiking and reception. We have also played in tune up games with several teams to prepare us for the upcoming UAAP.

wow,we are invited by the Ateneo Varsity Team,havent seen how the game is played by the youngsters, i used to watch games but this time i wont be able to coz of the change of venue,hanggang Blue Eagles Gym lang ako,anything farther than that is unnavigable na para sakin,hehehhe
UE kasi is the host of the league so dun talaga yung venue.
That’s the main problem nga eh kasi sobrang dami gusto manuod pero super layo ng venue. Sana sa Blue Eagly Gym nalang. haha
sana sa The Arena San Juan ang finals nyo para naman malaki at prestigious ang venue,makakapunta pa us,ang Uaap Highschool girls dun ata nag finals eh,sasama ko ung neighbor kong gustu mag-varsity sa Ateneo
sana.kasi sobrang ang daming hindi nakakapanuod kapag malayo yung venue eh. If the venue is at The Arena,for sure,people will really watch the games.
malapit lang ang ue ah. ue caloocan ba?? o manila??
BTW, to all those who are watching the game this sunday :

saka pala ung quicker,nag fafake sha ng quick pero wala pa sa setter ang bola,so alam na ng kabila na hindi ibibigay sa quick ung bola kasi nakatalon na sha bago pa ma-iset ang bola,timing na lag ng quick,heheheh
thanks for the comment.
