The Second Annual Girls Volleyball High School Challenge, sponsored by Aston Hotels and Resorts and Bank of Hawaii Insurance Services, takes place on August 7 and runs through August 9.
Defending champion Roosevelt is returning along with Hilo, Waiakea, Pearl City, Leileihua and the Island’s three public high schools Kapa‘a, Waimea and Kaua‘i for a total of eight teams.
Tournament play starts at 1 p.m. on August 7, August 8 at 9 a.m. with the finals around 2 p.m. on August 9. The format will be a full round robin for seeding and then a double elimination tournament.
Along with some good volleyball to watch for spectators there will be a food booth at the tournament and tournament shirts for sale.
The tournament culminates with a banquet on Saturday evening that includes door prizes, grinds, power point show of the tournament, awards, and this year Tyler Durman will be speaking on Playing Competitive Sports with Honor and Respect for Others. Durman also has information at tylerstuff.com.
Many thanks to the Sponsors Aston Hotels and Bank of Hawaii Insurance Services, Island School for housing some of the teams, Kikiaola Land Company, Ltd and the County of Kaua‘i for the use of the War Memorial Convention Center for the banquet (excellent helpful staff) and the parents of the JV and Varsity teams that put out so much effort and time to make the tournament a success.
In 2002, teams traveled from as far as Iowa and Santa Barbara.
The 2004 tournament is already getting inquiries from San Jose, Oregon and Illinois with Iowa again planning to return in 2004.
