ALOHA! WELCOME TO OUR 2012 SEASON!
Established in 1985 - Our 27th Year!
We are a "college prep" volleyball club that trains and prepares our players for college volleyball. We strive to develop our players' volleyball skills and volleyball IQ for the "next level" which necessarily develops their recruitment stock. We achieve this with a high level of specialized training emphasizing technique and tactics. We strategically compete on a national level maximizing our players' exposure to college scouts. We also assist our players in getting recruited by schools that best fit their academic and athletic goals. We are also fortunate to be 1 of 25 volleyball clubs out of thousands of clubs in America to be sponsored by Asics.
Former Asics Rainbow and Hawaii Baptist Academy Standout (2010) and High School All-American Sarah Palmer at Texas! Sarah played for Asics Rainbows for 4 years!

3. We are very successful!
