1st [ever] Annual Middle School Scholastic Beach Tourney

Over 7 middle schools participated in the first ever scholastic spring event.   It could be a good start to playing beach for your high school.  Coach Suli even brought a few teams from Moloka'i.  A very exciting day, not to mention after many years of beach vb photography, i finally recorded my first photo of a "chicken wing" (creative way to  dig a ball).  See below for the proof.  Tourney results and many pics from the day below too. 

 Next year's tournament will be on the Sunday after the Lahaina Tournament.  It'll likely be Sunday April, 16 in 2017.  Date will be firmed up 2 months prior.

The Chicken Wing!!!!
