Tune-up games with the Philippine national team

The Philippines women's national volleyball team that will participate in the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia on August 18–September 2, 2018 will be a guest team in the tournament.[5] The team will play tune up games against some of the regular PSL teams. National players will play for their respective mother teams in games pitting the Philippine team against their mother team.[6] Alyssa Valdez and Jia Morado will not play for the national team in the PSL tune up games due to obligations with their mother team, the Creamline Cool Smashers in the ongoing 2018 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference.[7]
