“Being a part of the Elite Sports family in the summer of 2007 was one of the best experiences of my life. Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of playing baseball in a place such as Hawaii. It was honestly and experience that you can only explain as, "You had to be there!" I was a part of team Ohio-Nebraska that summer, and honestly did not know what to expect. We were playing with kids that we didn't know, have never played with before, or even seen before. We came into this tournament open minded and trusting of each other as if we had been playing together since we were little kids. In the days leading up to the tournament I do not think there wasn't a time when the whole team was together. Whether is was going to the North Shore getting our pictures taken with the cast from a music video, swimmming, or just relaxing on the beach, we were always together. Bonding in such a way that we developed life long frendships, even though we are so far away from one another. I will never forget this summer and all of the memorable experiences that I was a part of.

I met and played for Coach Mead in Hawaii and now play for him at Walsh University in North Canton Ohio. As a player I have been able to continue my dream of playing baseball in college. Playing on a team such as Walsh is an experience that I can only experience once in a life time. I love playing for Walsh and under Coach Mead and as a part of this team is something that I will never forget, our team bonds and trust so well that I could not imagine playing anywhere else but at Walsh. Playing the competition that we do is just taking my athletic carreer to the next level and is helping it forever grow to better myself as a person. The experience at Elite Sports has helped me play in collegate sports, and now being a part of such a team has given me the motivation to push myself to become the best that I can on the field.

I had the opportunity to play for Team Tennessee for Coach Mark Brew through Elite Sports in Hawaii, and I now play for him at Lee University. Elite Sports allowed me the opportunity to not only meet and get to know Coach Brew, but also the opportunity for him to see me play.  I am thankful to Elite Sports for beginning my recruitment process with Lee and providing a platform on which I could perform. Not to mention, the whole thing was in Hawaii, and let's be honest, everything is better when you're in Hawaii. The events were all planned out for us and allowed us to just relax and enjoy our time there. The tripped served as both a great vacation and a useful showcase of my talents.

“I just finished my second trip with Elite Sports and I can say with out a doubt each trip has been incredible. I’m from a small town and never dreamed I would have the opportunity to play the sport I love in the most beautiful place on earth. Thanks Elite Sports for the opportunity.”

"Going to Hawaii was a dream come true. I met many new friends that I will never forget and I got to experience playing volleyball in a new atmosphere with new people. My coaches were great and my teammates and I hit it off from the first practice. I was on the Nebraska 1 team and we ended up second in the tournament. Elite Sports did a great job of setting everything up so that we could have a worry free trip. As a team we spent all most all of our time together getting to know each other and becoming life long friends. I will never forget the girls I met and the coaches I played for. Thank you Elite Sports for making it possible for me to have this once in a lifetime experience."

"I just finished my second trip with Elite Sports and I will hold these memories for the rest of my life. Not only did I gain exposure with basketball, but I gained friends from all over the country with the same love for the game as I have. Thank you Elite Sports and Coach Waldrop for helping open doors of opportunity for me. Future travelers, I highly recommend you not pass up this chance of a life time."

"My name is Rebecca Lipford and I truly had an amazing time on my Hawaii-Volleyball vacation.  This was my last experience with volleyball right before I went to college and I wouldnt have imagined it being anywhere else.  The trip was full of learning experiences as well as just plain ol' fun! I was offered almost too much playing time (if that is even possible.. haha) and i had an amazing time bonding with my team as well as my coach.  I am overwhelmed by the opportunity that i had and am blessed that I was able to go."
