Our trip to Hawaii was an experience of a lifetime
both on and off the court. The friendships and
memories made will last a lifetime. One of the
best benefits for athletes is the exposure they
get playing for and in front of college coaches.

What an amazing
experience for not only me as a coach, but the high school athletes
that participate. The organization of all the events is excellent
and everyone is so kind and helpful. The volleyball and the touring
activities combine to make this a memorable trip for everyone.

ESI did a phenomenal job
with making this trip an experience to remember. The opportunity,
both for the athletes and coaches, is something that you can get
nowhere else. I enjoyed meeting and working with individuals from
different facets of life, coaching the game I love, and exploring
the beautiful island of Oahu. I look forward to working with ESI
in the future." Thanks for the wonderful trip and I am truly
looking forward to the meeting and traveling next summer with you.

The ESI volleyball trip
to Hawaii was fantastic!! The ESI staff made it so easy to just
coach your team since they took care of all the other details. I
enjoyed getting to know not only the players on my team but
players and coaches from other teams from all over the U.S. I was
impressed with the positive attitude that the players brought to
court. The players on my team blended so well and most had never
met before this trip. ESI does a great job of combining playing
competitive volleyball with a dream vacation.

I have had the pleasure
of coaching a team with ESI for the past 5 years. As a college coach I have not only met and
made friends with other coaches but I've also had the opportunity
to see a lot of talented young players who I now can keep an eye
on for years to come. As an athlete, you get to meet and make
friends with other athletes who have the same interests, be seen
by college coaches with the hope of getting recruited in the
future and just see a beautiful place where some people can only
hope to visit. The entire Elite Sports staff is very friendly and
helpful throughout the tour. I would encourage any athlete to take
this trip with ESI because it is truly a great experience.

I had a great group of
young women that would have never had the opportunity to meet and
get to know each other if it hadn't been for this trip. The trip
gave many athletes the chance of a lifetime to visit Hawaii and
play the game they love in a very stress-free environment. As one
of my players stated," I am playing volleyball in Hawaii, what
could be better?" Thanks ESI! Brenda Williams, Olivet

My trip to
Honolulu, Hawaii with Elite Sports was outstanding in every way! Great hotel and
transportation service throughout the whole trip, good
competition, and a lot of fun for both the players and the
coaches!
We were able to have plenty of time to see and enjoy all of the
fun things to do on the Island during the group outings. We were
also given plenty of free time to do things with just a few
friends if we wanted to--so it was the best of both worlds! I
would like to say a big thank you to the ESI staff for all of
their hard work organizing such a successful trip

The trip to Hawaii was
truly one of the best experiences of my coaching career. The
relationships I gained with the athletes and the coaching staff
was invaluable. My players and I have gained memories that will
last a lifetime. I feel very fortunate to be able to travel with
ESI, they are truly a class act organization.

I look forward to another trip with your company. It was loads of
fun. Also, I look forward to getting in touch with the Hawaiian
Volleyball Coaches that you have about potentially bringing some
of their players into my college to play for us.

ESI did such a nice job with organizing and facilitating our trip
to Hawaii this past summer. We loved the schedule throughout the
week and the opportunity to experience Oahu as well as play
volleyball. Our teams had a wonderful time. Thanks to the staff at
ESI for all their hard work. It was a fantastic trip.

I just finished my third trip with ESI. They do a great job
with the organization of the tournament and the sight seeing is
unbelievable. The Hyatt Regency hotel is nicer than any place I
have ever stayed. Thanks again ESI for the opportunity.

This experience is a unique balance between playing competitive
volleyball (which we all love), and experiencing a state
(Hawaii) which few of us get an opportunity to visit. I will go
back year after year, as long as ESI wants me around.

"This was my 3rd time to Hawaii with Elite Sports and again
I was amazed with how extremely well the trip was planned and
organized. The ESI staff is made up of some of the most
wonderful people who truly care that you have the best
experience possible".
