About United Calabarzon Collegiate League
UCCL was formed in 2006 by First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities (FAITH) primarily as a pre-season tournament for Batangas-based schools. Formerly known as the North Batangas Open League, the league has since been renamed United Calabarzon Collegiate League (UCCL) to accommodate schools outside of Batangas.
In 2010, the league’s application to participate in the Philippine Collegiate Champions League (PCCL) was granted. Because of this change, the UCCL champion can now represent Southern Luzon and Bicol region in the Philippine Collegiate Champions League (PCCL).
The competition will be held for two months. Games are on July 16,17, 22, 23, 24, 30, and 31. They will continue until August 6,7,13, 14, 20, 21, 27, and 28.
