Palama Settlement is grateful for the University of Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors and Rainbow Wahine and their recent volunteering efforts in Palama sports programs. This collaboration, made possible by our dear friends at the Downtown Athletic Club Hawai’i, was created as a way for the collegiate student-athletes to give back and enhance youth sports programs in the underserved community, providing invaluable opportunities for growth and empowerment.
The involvement of University of Hawaiʻi athletes began with the Warriors conducting drills and agility training during last week’s flag football practice. Quick feet and agility workouts in rapid succession was a healthy challenge for the young Palama Scorpions to experience working with collegiate athletes. The UH student-athletes shared lessons beyond the gridiron as they served as positive role models and advocates for success both on and off the field.
The UH Wahine worked through the fundamentals of proper setting and serving techniques with the Palama Volleyball team. Parents sat back with smiles of pride and gratitude, watching the exchange of knowledge!Â
