The Dawn of Tchoukball Game in Cebu
Nearly
ten years ago, this new sport called Tchoukball was introduced here in Cebu. Historically, this game was first played in Cebu
and then was spread in Bacolod, Manila, and also Davao.
At first it did not
spark so well to the people of Cebu. But later on, the Christian Athletic
Volunteer Butanding Tchoukball Cebu or CAV Butanding Tchoukball Cebu slowly
gained its popularity and continued rising above others. Being one of many
clubs who masters the sports, they also made a big impact on spreading
awareness to fellow Cebuanos.

more about them?
Christian Athletic Volunteer (CAV) is an athletic arm of The Risen Saviour
Bible Baptist Church. Through the years they organized sporting events like
Basketball, Volleyball, Triball (which is a combination of 3x3 Basketball,
Volleyball, and Tchoukball), and many more.
They
formed a new sports team which is the CAV Butanding Tchoukball Cebu where they
organized and installed the Tchoukball Liga de Sugbo. It is much more like of
Wimbledon or US Open in Tennis Tournaments because of the excitement and fame
of the tournament and many people gather to watch it.
The most notable
Tchoukball Liga de Cebu was the Liga Dos where it was held at Robinson
Galleria Cebu atrium. It was the first time people across the globe who love
this game saw how it is possible to organized a tchoukball game inside of a
mall.
The CAV Butanding Tchoukball Cebu co-hosted the Philippine Open Tchoukball International.
This was held at City Sports Club Cebu in Cebu Business Park last year in
association of Tchoukball Association of the Philippines (TAP) and Tchoukball
Association of Cebu (TAC).
We
can say that the CAV Butanding Tchoukball Cebu is one in the field of sports
that Cebu can delight on. We had three players of CAV Butanding Tchoukball Men
and a team of CAV Butanding Tchoukball Women represented our flag, our country,
and the Filipino people in the last Asia Pacific Tchoukball Championships (APTC)
held in Singapore this year. They got the sixth rank amongst the Asia Pacific
countries. This is something we should be proud of.
Now, let’s just continue supporting our own team here in Cebu. For sure, there
are a lot of games in store for them. Watch out for their schedule and be
inspired or be amazed on how good they play.
