The Akari Girls Athletic League of Schools (GALS) Season 4 is all about girls’ volleyball, sportsmanship, and the power of community.
The fourth season will be held at La Salle Green Hills’ St. Benilde Gymnasium in Mandaluyong City from Nov. 15, 2026 to Feb. 14, 2027, bringing together young female athletes through the sport of volleyball, providing opportunities for competition, teamwork, discipline, and personal growth.
A total of 27 teams from 15 schools will compete in the three-month long competition: Assumption College San Lorenzo, Ateneo de Manila University, Assumption College Antipolo, Everest International Academy, St. Pedro Poveda College, St. Paul College Pasig, Pace Academy, Immaculate Conception Academy, Miriam College, Our Lady of Perpetual Succor College, St. Scholastica’s Academy Marikina, De La Salle Zobel, Don Bosco Technical College, St. Therese, and La Salle Green Hills.
Beyond the excitement of the game, the league celebrates the dedication, resilience, and leadership of young women in sports. It aims to create an environment where student-athletes can develop their skills, build meaningful friendships, and learn valuable lessons that extend beyond the volleyball court.

“By working together with La Salle Green Hills, our partners, and the wider community, we hope to help provide meaningful opportunities for young athletes to discover their potential, develop their character, and pursue excellence.
“We are proud to support initiatives that bring people together through sports and reflect the Lasallian values of faith, service, and communion in mission,” Orosa added.
