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.
San Beda College did not field teams in the women's division .
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:
“We have not the motive to prepare ourselves for a “life-work” of teaching, of social work—we know that we would lay it down with hallelujah in the height of our success, to make a home for the right man. And all the time in the background of our consciousness rings the warning that perhaps the right man will never come. A great love is given to very few. Perhaps this make-shift time filler of a job is our life work after all.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
