Philippine Collegiate Champions League (PCCL)
PCCL — A SCHOOL-BASED GRASSROOTS PROGRAM
For awhile, there was a vacuum in the leadership of local basketball. When the crisis was finally resolved, Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) led by Manny V. Pangilinan took over from the defunct Basketball Association of the Philippines the responsibility of developing and promoting the sport in the country and repairing the shattered image of the Philippines by restoring the country’s good standing at FIBA, the governing body of international basketball.
Apart from cleaning the membership ranks and staffing the organization with qualified officials, the SBP leadership immediately embarked on several grassroots development programs and breathed life on the moribund local basketball sector. One such program was the annual search for the best collegiate teams in the country.
SBP-PCCL partnership
Since 2003, Philippine Collegiate Champions League (PCCL) has been conducting an annual search for a Philippine collegiate champion. Top performing teams in the UAAP, NCAA, CESAFI (Cebu) and other leagues in Metro Manila, Visayas and Mindanao were invited to a series of knock-out games, and the last standing team was crowned as the Philippine Collegiate Champion.
The University of the East Warriors was the first PCCL champion in 2003 followed with back-to-back championships by the FEU Tamaraws in 2004 and 2005. The UE Warriors came back strong in 2006, while the Ateneo Blue Eagles finally broke the hold of FEU and UE by winning the 2007 title.
In 2008, SBP and PCCL forged a partnership to broaden the scope of the Philippine Collegiate Championship. A nationwide multi-level tournament was organized that included provincial, regional and zonal competitions to select the top 16 teams that will finally knock each other out for the national title.
