Mission Statement: To positively shape the lives of all children, in all circumstances, through the sport of volleyball, to inspire with great activities, to inform with the highest level of coaches, and to achieve excellence both on and off the court. A Resource for the Community: Over the last 3 years, Spike and Serve held free clinics and facilitated volleyball based fundraisers for the following groups, offering 300 days of activities and serving over 3000 participants in the last calendar year alone! Life Changing Experiences for ALL: Spike and Serve is proud of our Mauka to Makai program offering free clinics to all! Over the last 2 years, gold medalists Kerri Walsh, Karch Kiraly, Phil Dalhausser, Todd Rogers, Kerri Pottharst, and Misty May Treanor have all worked with our Keiki. The kids worked on volleyball skills but more importantly learned firsthand about the values of communication, hard work, and big dreams from their heroes. Spike and Serve provides all the equipment and hires coaches to conduct these free community based events at no charge to our participants! K E V I N W O N G Olympian Kevin Wong was born in Hawaii and raised in Pearl City. He went to UCLA where he helped his team win two NCAA Championships and later represented the USA in the Sydney Olympics. His professional beach volleyball career spanned 15 years during which he won the coveted King of the Beach title and the "Wimbledon of Beach Volleyball", The Manhattan Open, twice. He started volunteer coaching at a public school where he found his love for children, coaching and giving back. This is where the idea of "Spike and Serve" began: serving the children and the community. Kevin is the Olympic analyst for NBC, and also regularly broadcasts for the PAC 12 Network, OC 16 and OC Sports. He is also USA Volleyball Aloha Region's High Performance Head Coach preparing the top Hawaii teams for mainland competitions. L E G A C Y Beach volleyball is one of Hawaii’s gifts to the world. It was 1915, when on a day with no surf, “Dad” Center and Duke Kahanamoku strung a fishing net between two trees in Waikiki and a sport was born. Since then, Hawaii has produced 22 Olympic volleyball players, more per capita than any other state. 2016 will offer the first NCAA championships of beach volleyball, the most successful emerging sport in NCAA history. Athletic scholarships and educational opportunities are on the rise.
