alyssa valdez eligibility

The UAAP has a eligibility ruling that makes the transferees from high school to college sit out two years before being allowed to play. This eligibility rule has been a huge controversy because there are a lot of speculations about the things that might happen because of this eligibility ruling. Glad to say that Alyssa Valdez was not a part of this eligibility ruling because this particular rule was just applied recently. We all know that Alyssa Valdez did not study elementary and high school at Ateneo and if she was affected by this rule then I could say it would be a huge impact to her team because Alyssa Valdez at a very young age is a valuable asset to the team.

This particular eligibility rule of the UAAP is really debatable because this holds back the talent from a specific player. Yes we know that most great athletes from any sports not just volleyball can’t afford Universities like the Ateneo University and De LaSalle University. This particular rule will be a huge disadvantage to some Universities because they can’t just pick up any player from any high school department.  2 years is a long time of wait for a particular player not to play the game and it would surely affect the exposure and the willingness of the player to play. With this, the board of directors of the UAAP needs to review on this eligibility rules once again so that there will be no negative talks spreading all over the league.

Alyssa Valdez is more than lucky enough not to be included on this eligibility rule. Right now on her 4^th season and would be her last it seemed, she is even more than happy to spend it on Ateneo de Manila University. But can you imagine if Alyssa Valdez was affected with this eligibility rule? Then I could say in my own opinion that 2 years not able to play in the league and 2 years of remaining year will not be enough in showing her talent. It took 4 seasons for Alyssa Valdez to show to everyone her skill as a player. The first 2 years of her were all adjustments and this particular eligibility rule would be very difficult for athletes to showcase their talents. I am hoping that the board of directors would revise this and would look up to it because it would really affect an athlete’s potential in become a great player someday.
