Spiker's Turf seasons

The 2015 Spikers' Turf season was the inaugural season of the men's volleyball league Spikers' Turf, the counterpart of the women's Shakey's V-League. In 2014, the Shakey's V-League introduced a men's division during its 21st conference.[1] The following year, Sports Vision, the organizers of the Shakey's V-League decided to spin off the men's vision as a separate tournament, giving birth to the Spikers' Turf.
