The Quezon City Gerflor Defenders were a women's volleyball team in the Philippines which played in the Premier Volleyball League.
History
The Quezon City Gerflor Defenders, a private professional club supported by the Quezon City Sports Management Services joined the Premier Volleyball League debuting in the 2023 Invitational Conference. They have committed to take part in the PVL for at least three years. Prior to this, they have played in various other leagues and tournaments including the PNVF Champions League. The team had Edgar Barroga as its inaugural head coach.
On November 9, 2023, during the 2023 Second All-Filipino Conference, the Defenders were put under investigation by the league after some of its players posted on Reddit in regards to various internal problems including wage issues. The team was effectively disbanded after the tournament.
In January 2023, it was announced that the Strong Group Athletics would be taking over Gerflor's franchise. The group reportedly helped resolved the salary issue. It will be Strong Group's second PVL team, the first being the Farm Fresh Foxies.
