Inspire has previously hosted the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 President&#x27;s Cup as well as two training camps of the Philippine national men&#x27;s basketball team.The country&#x27;s boxing, taekwondo, and karate teams are also training at the facility.The PVL is set to ask permission from the Inter-Agency Task Force to push through with their competition, with help from the GAB.&quot;GAB is helping us get the approval. I don&#x27;t think it will be a problem kasi ginagamit naman &#x27;yung Inspire Sports Academy, ginamit ng pang-3x3, &#x27;yung Chooks to Go na 3x3, so siguro, I don&#x27;t see any problem,&quot; said Palou.The PVL cancelled the entirety of its 2020 season because of the pandemic.<div class="iwantbar"> </div>
