Lady Altas head coach Sandy Rieta said they will be conducting an open tryout on Friday and Saturday at their Las Piñas campus to scout players who can help them clinch the women’s volleyball title in Season 100 that will open in August.

Rieta said the tryouts will be opened for newly-graduated Senior High and transferees to while they are encouraging the incoming Grades 7 to 12 students to try their luck with the Junior Girls Altas.

“If you know you have talent and skills, try to try out with the Lady Altas,” Rieta, whose Lady Altas missed a Final Four appearance in Season 99.

Rieta has a huge void to fill as four Lady Altas in Season 98 Most Valuable Player (MVP) Mary Rhose Dapol, Razel Aldrea, Krisha Cordero and Charmaine Ocado have already exhausted their playing years.
