The PLDT High Speed Hitters (formerly the Smart Giga Hitters and the PLDT Home Fibr Power Hitters) is a professional women's volleyball team owned by PLDT.

History

[edit]

The team debuted in 2018 as the Smart Prepaid Giga Hitters.[1] The team was owned by Smart Communications.[1]

For the 2018 PSL Invitational Cup, the team partnered with the Philippine Army Lady Troopers and competed as the Smart–Army Giga Hitters.[2]

In September 2018, the PayMaya High Flyers, their affiliate team in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL), was merged with the team.[3] In February 2019, the Smart Prepaid Giga Hitters changed its name to the PLDT Home Fibr Power Hitters.[4]

The team transferred to the PVL in February 2021, following the league's professionalization.[5] The team changed their name to the High Speed Hitters in January 2022, in a lead up to the upcoming PVL season.[6]
