Testimonials

"I have played with and against Alika for years. He is one of the best all-around players I know. Some guys are great blockers or setters but don't have all the skills. Alika has all the skills. Anyone under his tutelage is very fortunate to have such a well rounded coach."

Todd Rogers

Head Coach of Womenʻs Sand Volleyball at Cal Poly SLO / Beach Volleyball Gold Medalist 2008 Beijing Olympics

"I have trained with Alika since I was in 8th grade. He taught me the basics of beach volleyball and the strategy that is needed to compete. Through my beach training with him, my ball control became much better and those skills transferred to my indoor game as well. Alika always challenged me to push past what I thought I could do and believed in me as a young player (and still does). Very thankful for all of his coaching that made me into the player I am today.

Carly Kan

Hunakai HI Performance Student/Professional Beach Volleyball Player/Former NCAA All-American

"As a player, Alika is very athletic, strategic, highly skilled, and has a high IQ for the game of volleyball. As a coach, he knows the importance of hard work and how to teach the fundamentals. Alika understands how to develop athletes to become better volleyball players."

Eric Fonoimoana

2000 Beach Volleyball Olympic Gold Medalist

"Hunakai HI Performance set me up for success going into my sophomore year of college at Florida State University both physically and technically. I felt extremely prepared going into my college season after not playing a full year as a freshman and underdeveloped beach player. Alika helped me develop my ball control and endurance levels all in his training. I think anyone will benefit from his amazing coaching and gain the necessary skills to be successful on the beach or on court. I’m truly grateful that I got to connect with Alika before I headed back to school!"

Avery Poppinga

Current women’s beach volleyball player at Florida State University

"Alika has become one of the premier trainers in the game of volleyball. As a player, he competed at the highest level on the AVP with some of the best players in the world. His training of my daughter Lizzy gave her the confidence, skills, and discipline to make the Punahou varsity team in her senior year. It is with this dedication of passing his knowledge onto the next generation of volleyball players that I highly recommend you call Alika at Hunakai Hi Performance."
