Coaching Staff
Our Coaches
Experienced athletes and educators who believe in developing the whole keiki — mind, body, and spirit — through the discipline and joy of volleyball.
Board & Advisors
Community Leaders
Kona residents, parents, and professionals who are lending their expertise, networks, and time to make this vision a lasting reality for the Big Island.
Community Support & Volunteer Effort
Already driven by passionate collaboration
This project is already being driven by passionate community collaboration. Families, coaches, local athletes, volunteers, and supporters are stepping forward to contribute labor, fundraising assistance, planning, and outreach because they believe in the positive impact this court can have for future generations.
The vision is not simply to build a sand court — it is to create a long-term community hub where keiki can learn teamwork, discipline, leadership, and confidence while representing Kona and the Big Island with pride.
Beach volleyball continues to grow nationally and throughout Hawai\u02BBi, but Kona-area youth remain underserved without a permanent sand facility. Many families currently travel long distances or rely on temporary setups that are not regulation quality or storm resilient.
With your support, this project becomes
Year-Round Training Facility
A permanent home where keiki can train through every season, regardless of weather or displacement.
Youth Clinics & Tournaments
A host site that brings competitive opportunities directly to the Big Island, eliminating the need for costly travel.
Community Gathering Space
A hub for families, coaches, and supporters to come together around the shared values of sport and aloha.
Collegiate Pathways
A stepping stone for local athletes pursuing beach volleyball scholarships and higher education opportunities.
A dedicated court provides
Long-term benefits for the Big Island
