The United VC, mostly known as the Cocolife Asset Managers from 2017 to 2018 due to sponsorship reasons, was a professional women's volleyball team in the Philippine Super Liga (PSL).

History

The United Volleyball Club joined the Philippine Super Liga in January 2017. It was named "United" due to having former players of rival University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) schools in Ateneo and La Salle in its roster.[1]

However the team adopted the name Cocolife Asset Managers instead after securing sponsorship with the United Coconut Planters Life Assurance Corporation (COCOLIFE) in February 2017. The club adopted the company's colors blue and green which are also coincidentally the same as the two schools.[2][3]

They played under the Cocolife name from the 2017 to 2018 seasons. Starting from the 2019 Grand Prix Conference they competed as United Volleyball Club, now without a naming sponsor.[4] The team experienced financial issues with team manager Josh Ylaya serving as interim head coach due to Moro Branislav's departure to lessen operational expenses.[5]

The club disbanded in June 2019 due to its inability to find a new sponsor.[5]
