The Pilipa‘a Volleyball Club traveled from Hilo to Orlando, Florida, in July to compete in the 18 Club Division at the AAU Boys’ Junior National Championships.
After posting an impressive record of 11-2, they won the Consolation Bracket , earning ninth place out of 78 teams from across the country.
The experienced staff was led by well-known coach Ecko Osorio, who has coached some of these players since middle school. The players came together from six different schools on the Big Island (classes 2023-2026). Each player earned a spot on the All-BIIF 1st team or Honorable Mention, including both D1 and D2 Players of the Year.
