HAWAII VOLLEYBALL VACATION March 2-9 2008
Due to popular demand we have added another winter Volleyball Vacation for March 2-9 on Oahu, Hawaii. We are limiting this trip to a maximum of only 40 people so we can ensure a more intimate experience with more one on one coaching and interaction. This will be the 5th time to Oahu for Volleyball Vacations and it is going to be awesome. Escape the cold and book now before this rare opportunity is sold out.
I have worked out a deal with my tournament director friend on the island so that on Saturday the March 8 everyone will be allowed to compete in a local Hawaiian beach volleyball tournament against local players. There will be an "Unrated" and "A" tournament with prizes and a player party Saturday night for everyone in the tournament and all volleyball vacationers. This is a new and exciting addition to these trips and I can't wait to train everyone all week and prepare them for the tournament. It is also a chance to hang out and meet some of the friendliest and most talented players in he world.
Come join us for lots of volleyball and the best sunsets in the world. We will have the option to do many excursions including hiking through bamboo forests, surfing the most famous local spots, snorkeling trip to Hanuama Bay , trip to the Polynesian cultural center and even deep sea fishing for monster fish. There are many amazing things to do on this beautiful island and I can't wait to show you how to do it local style. My uncle is the mayor there so I have a few more special things planned that he is going to help me put together.
If you are interested in getting in the sun and siding out on Hawaiian beaches call Dave at Pacific Sports Tours at 310-798-1234 or email at dm@pacificsportstours.com for all booking information. The price is only $995 double occupancy and includes transfers to and from the airport, a lei greeting, hotel and all volleyball and clinics.
