Sri Lanka’s number one footwear manufacturer and distributor DSI is proud to host the renowned DSI Supersport Schools Volleyball Championship for the 15th consecutive time. DSI as always will add a lot of glamour and energy in conducting DSI Supersport Volleyball Championship 2013. Back in the year 1999, this was a concept which was initiated in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Volleyball Federation and the Ministry of Education with a participation of 198 teams. Owing to this championship program teams have gained immense momentum and popularity over the past 14 years.

Undoubtedly, DSI has successfully and steadfastly fostered Sri Lanka’s national sport – volleyball through the years bearing immense respect for the national game. Increased participation from every nook and corner of the country provides us with evidence about the success and popularity of the competition.

More importantly, grand finale of the championship 2012 was held at the newly-opened Nawalapitiya National Stadium. This year the organisers hope to attract a record of over 5,500 teams in an effort to popularise the sport in virtually every school around the island. The championship tournament will be conducted in District, Provincial and National levels, under both male and female categories. Participants should belong to either, under 18, under 16 and under 14 categories to be in order for them to become eligible for the tournament.
