Combine The Rookie Draft Combine was held at the Paco Arena in Manila from May 30 to 31 Attendance is required by default for draft entrants without a valid excuse. Eight players were absent in the first day.

Draft order In the first round, the order of the four worst-performing teams will be determined through a lottery, based on the ability to pick the first to fourth picks. This practice was designed to discourage any tanking by teams to influence the pick order in potential future drafts. The draft will conclude when all 12 teams have passed the draft selection. For this year's draft, the basis of the draft order is the combined results of the 2024 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference (1/3 of the computation), and the 2024–25 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference (2/3 of the computation). The four worst combined records will participate in the lottery to determine the order of the first four picks.
