GIRLS VOLLEYBALL - SUMMER WORKOUTS

Coach Lamb will be hosting a summer workout program for anyone that will be enrolled at LJA for the 2018-2019 school year, grades 7 - 12, and interested in trying out for one of the girls volleyball teams.  The summer workouts are not mandatory but I do encourage attendance.

Sessions will be held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3:45 - 5:15 PM starting on Monday, May 21. Currently we intend to conclude the program on Monday, June 11 but we may may extend it if coaches are available.  The Girls will participate in the Intermediate, JV and Varsity divisions this year.

Also, the gym will be closed May 30 and June 1 for graduation, so no sessions on those days.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me via email at lee.lamb@icloud.com or text me at (808) 741-1276.

PS - the HHSAA and ILH have not finalized a the start date for the 2018 season yet. Once they do, I will send out an email regarding tryout dates.

The boys basketball program would like to invite all boys in grades 6-11 who are interested in playing basketball for the school to attend practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays  between 4:30 and 6:00 p.m. in the gym.  If you have questions, contact Coach Tim Harrison at timharrison.coach@gmail.com

LJA ATHLETIC WEBSITE

So what is NEW on the LJA Athletic Website?  Motivation videos. There are a number of YouTube videos.  Here are just a few:  What's You Why; Refuse to be Outworked; Pain Is Temporary; When you Want to Succeed As Bad As You Want To Breathe; What's Your Grind; 10 Rules For Success; Thou Shalt Not Cheat; and more.

2018-19 Fall Start Dates

The HHSAA dates are not yet released, but a good guide is to anticipate the first day of fall practices to begin either July 30 or August 6.  Once the HHSAA releases these dates, they will be published here.  

The athletic department strongly encourages all families to consider each team's 2-3 month season as a COMMITMENT, and accordingly schedule all trips and vacations around the practice and game schedules.  The values athletics are trying to help build in the students 

--those of teamwork, dedication, commitment, decision-making, time management, and sacrifice, among others - are all diminished when players miss parts of their season.   Mahalo.

CROSS COUNTRY INFORMATION

Congratulations to our Ekiden teams that busted out their best on the course on Sunday!  You represented your team and school very well! Many thanks to Coach Liz for the expert planning and to all of the supporters who helped with transportation. 

It was a wonderful potluck for Coach Liz last night. What a great turn-out and such delicious food!  I think we should adopt her fashion accessories for our uniforms next season.
