Home And Away Invitational League
The Home and Away Invitational League (HAIL) was an intercollegiate basketball and volleyball league in the Philippines formed in 2004. It was managed by a group led by Far Eastern University Athletic Heads Anton Montinola and Mark Molina.

The first batch of champions in each division were the University of the East for Men's Basketball, the Ateneo de Manila University for Women's Basketball, the Far Eastern University for Men's Volleyball and the Ateneo de Manila University for Women's Volleyball.
Each team was allowed to have up to 3 players who played in the Philippine Basketball League or Shakey's V-League to keep the competition at a collegiate level.

In S.Y. 2006-2007, San Sebastian College - Recoletos, FEATI University and Adamson University joined the league.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or league:
“For most Northerners, Texas is the home of real men. The cowboys, the rednecks, the outspoken self-made right-wing millionaires strike us as either the best or worst examples of American manliness.... The ideal is not an illusion nor is it contemptible, no matter what damage it may have done. Many people who scorn it in conversation want to submit to it in bed. Those who believe machismo reeks of violence alone choose to forget it once stood for honor as well.”
—Edmund White (b. 1940)
“Stereotypes fall in the face of humanity. You toodle along, thinking that all gay men wear leather after dark and should never, ever be permitted around a Little League field. And then one day your best friend from college, the one your kids adore, comes out to you.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
