SBA Expands Scouting Tour to Discover New Talents for Season 2 Team Expansion


PhilBoxing.com




Hot on the heels of announcing its Season 2 expansion, the Sharks Billiards Association (SBA) is hitting the road to discover the next wave of Filipino billiards talents. As SBA Season 2 shapes up to be bigger than ever, the scouting tours have ramped up, visiting select billiard halls nationwide in search of standout players who could join existing teams—or even help form brand-new franchises.

The scouting initiative stems from SBA’s plan to expand beyond the five teams that joined the recent draft. Each new team will open opportunities for more players to go pro, with six roster spots
available per expansion team. The official announcement of new teams will be made during the SBA Season 2 Press Conference on October 30, 2025 at the Sharks Arena & Sports Bar.

Led by SBA Founder Hadley Mariano, the scouting tour brings the league closer to local communities, giving emerging players a chance to showcase their skills in front of league decision-makers.
“Every great player starts somewhere, and we want to be there when that journey begins,” said Mariano. “This scouting tour is about uncovering raw talent, giving them a platform, and showing that
in the SBA, anyone with skill, discipline, and heart can compete at the highest level.”

The next tour stops are set for October 14 and 17 at Centro Bar and Billiards, Taft Avenue, and Pocket King’s, Batangas, respectively. More venues and schedules will be announced soon through SBA’s
official social media pages. Fans and aspiring players are encouraged to stay tuned and be part of the search for the sport’s next big stars. The SBA Scouting Tour builds up to Season 2, which officially kicks off on November 10, 2025. With louder crowds, sharper talents, and new faces joining the league, SBA continues to cement its place as the Philippines’ premier stage for professional billiards.-Marlon Bernardino-
