RECRUIT HAWAII'S PLAYERS
College Coaches!
Why should you recruit Hawaii's players? While only 1.1% of girls prep volleyball players across the country go on to play at the D1 level, Hawaii boasts one of the highest rates of players playing at the D1 level and many more of our players go on to play at the DII, DIII, NAIA & JUCO levels!
Whatever your recruiting needs may be, we can showcase any players of interest to you and whom we believe may be a great match for your program. Simply contact us and we will livestream any players of interest to you in a workout or scrimmage. Coaches have recruited many of our players right off of our livestreams!
How to maximize your recruiting of Hawaii's top players:
1. Attend the annual Hawaii Volleyball Combine.
2. Watch our weekly livestreams of our Training Teams and other players.
3. Follow us on Instagram at @volleyhawaii as we will be highlighting players.
4. Contact us directly at (808-377-4085) or (DM @VolleyHawaii) and let us know your needs.
We have helped hundreds of players get recruited over the years.
TRAINING TEAMS
Currently we have five (5) training teams; 2 girls teams (Blue and Red), 2 boys teams (Blue and Red) and 1 Girls "Rising Stars" Training Team. Players on these teams are either players whom college coaches are asking to see or who club coaches have recommended to be on these teams for recruitment.
We livestream the weekly training workouts of these training teams to college coaches.
The Blue Girls Training Team is coached by former top D1 Coaches Dave Shoji and Matt Sonnichsen. The Red Girls Training Team is coached by top club coach Luis Ramirez. The Boys Training Team is also coached by Luis Ramirez. The Rising Stars Team is coached by Lynden Keala and Daryl Tamashiro.
We have two goals with the training teams. The first goal is to get the players recruited through our livestreamed workouts to college coaches. Our second goal is to prepare the players for college volleyball. We typically have over 100 college coaches watching our livestreams and many players have received offers and interest from our livestreams. In fact, players have been offered and signed to play college volleyball after appearing in just a single livestream.
All teams train here at Volley Hawaii.
