Region 60 Presence in Hawaii

Soccer has become more than a 3-month sport for many of our Region 60 players. For 25 of these boys, they were able to experience the fierce competition of playing in a warm and tropical environment, also known as Hawaii. Two boys teams traveled across the ocean and tackled the challenge in the Rainbow Tournament that took place at the Waipio Soccer Complex in Waipahu, Hawaii over the span of three days.

Fundraising efforts were made for the U12B team which amounted to a great success. They had a donation drive on GoFundMe, a Hawaiian themed AYSO Region 60 themed shirt sale, Shakey’s pizza dinner fundraiser and a clothing drive. Funds were used to buy the team new jerseys and uniform, team shirts, snacks, drinks, food during the tournament, and to treat the boys to a Hawaiian Luau. Additionally, two of the big sisters (Caitlin and Olivia) baked cookies to raise funds so they can treat their brothers, the teammates, and even the teammates' siblings and parents to ice cream in Hawaii. Each player also received a special pin to commemorate their Hawaiian tournament experience. Special thanks to their Team Manager, Jill T., who organized and worked tirelessly so that the U12B team and families could have an amazing time there.

Coach Brett also decided to take a U14B team made up of All Stars Section and Area players to the Rainbow Tournament as well. While some parents were not able to go, other families stepped in and assisted with providing transportation in Hawaii as well as making special housing arrangements for the boys to allow for this special experience. The team won all 3 of their games to bring them into the Championship game and walked away as finalists. They now have a nice medal from Hawaii to commemorate the experience.

So wonderful to see these friendships flourish on and off the soccer field not just for the boys, but also for the families. Congratulations to both teams!
