CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY

Brad Barbarick | Head Men's Basketball Coach

Portland, OR - "I was very impressed with the entire Elite Sports staff and their tremendous organization of the King Kamehameha Classic. I have traveled to Hawaii for other basketball events so I know first hand how challenging it can be to put on a first class trip. The team that I traveled with from the Pacific Northwest certainly felt like it was a first class trip  and truly had a wonderful time. From the bus tour of Oahu, to the Luau and of course the basketball games, it was truly a memorable trip. I would strongly endorse this trip for any high school basketball player who wants to see the beautiful sights of Hawaii and play some great basketball."

LOUISBURG COLLEGE

John Meeks | Head Men's Basketball Coach

Louisburg, NC - "The 2009 summer season marked my first trip with Elite Sports. Having been to Hawaii before on a basketball trip, I already knew a lot about the area. However, the experience provided by Elite Sports was tremendous. They were very organized and did a great job to ensure the best encounter for all those involved. The resort was one of the best in the area and the aura that it presented created instant satisfaction. There were opportunities to tour local attractions, as well as “taste” true Hawaiian culture and tradition. On top of all this, the basketball was at a peak level. Players enjoyed the opportunity to learn new team concepts, play in front of and for college coaches, and to better their game by competing against some of the top players from across the country. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and know you will too. I highly recommend Elite Sports to anyone wishing to experience “basketball with an island flavor.”
