Scouting Report

AVA 14 Hanalei is a boys 14-under team from the Aloha Volleyball Association on Maui, Hawaii, coached by Hanalei Alapai. They won the 14-under title at the prestigious TransPacific Volleyball Championships in January 2026, upsetting an Oʻahu powerhouse after a third-place finish at the Kane Cup in November 2025. Qualified for the 2026 AAU Boys Volleyball Championships in Florida, this dedicated group of mostly young Maui players practices twice weekly and shows rapid development.

Competitive Level: Emerging national qualifier with regional championship wins

Play Style: The team rotates its lineup to keep players fresh, emphasizes serving prowess, and builds skills progressively from basics for beginners. They compete with high energy and resilience, rallying from deficits in close sets.

Strengths:
  • Exceptional serving, highlighted by short players like 4-foot-11 Padilla who deliver key points.
  • Strong team resilience, mounting comebacks such as 30-28 in a championship set.
  • High competitiveness and dedication, with players unwilling to skip practices post-tournament.
  • Rapid skill development, integrating beginners effectively to perform at high levels.
  • Contagious energy from boisterous players boosting team performance.
Areas for Improvement:
  • Limited prior experience, with only four players starting the season competitively.
  • Struggled early in some tournaments, going 1-6 in the 2025 Hawaii Club Volleyball Championship.
