The closing ceremony capped a colorful and competitive season that opened last July 23, 2010 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium with special guest and keynote speaker, Alvin Patrimonio (Four-time PBA MVP).
ISAA-member schools rallied to bring pride to their respective schools by giving their best in basketball and volleyball, two major sporting events that provided the main attractions for competition in the entire season. Competitions in swimming, badminton, and tennis were held to sustain the excitement and provide the variety for this significant sporting event.
