KA ULUKOA WAS FOUNDED IN 2007 AND OUR MISSION IS TO PREPARE YOUNG ATHLETES FOR THE NEXT LEVEL OF COMPETITION AND LIFE BY HELPING THEM EXPERIENCE PERSONAL GROWTH THROUGH A CONSCIOUS COMMITMENT AND DELIBERATE EFFORT.
WHAT DOES KAULUKOA MEAN?
Literally, Ka equals “the”. Ulu is to grow or spread. And koa is a soldier, warrior, or courage.
KAULUKOA describes the process by which a warrior or soldier matures. The way a warrior experiences the process of growth and gains knowledge through preparation, battle, and reflection.
WHY CHOOSE KAULUKOA?
Simply, we can help you achieve your goals and prepare you for what lies ahead.
Want to play in college? Roughly 90% of the athletes that graduate from our program goes on to play at the next level. This also holds true for athletes that played for us for more than 2 years but finished with other clubs. See our list of College Commitments below for athletes that graduated from the program.
Want to make varsity and have an impact? Check our stats below. Members have made nearly 60 appearances in the HHSAA Championship Finals. Members have also been honored as OIA, ILH, and HHSAA Player of the Year.
Want your child to learn life skills through their athletic experience? They will. We’re going to help them develop confidence, composure, conflict resolution skills, sportsmanship, perseverance, critical thinking, problem-solving, leadership skills, and character, among others. Critical attributes that will serve them throughout life.
We’re also an organization that is highly structured and transparent. We take all the guesswork out of the club experience. You’re going to know how much the season will cost, where you’re traveling, how many times you’re traveling, and what the expectations are. The only challenge is scheduling. We try to lock down practice and tournament times locally but time and space are limited and both of them are always subject to change (unfortunately).
Finally, like your child, we’re constantly trying to improve. We’re not perfect but we’re giving an honest effort to deliver an experience that’s going to have a lasting and positive impact on your child.

OUR COMMITMENT
We’re extremely proud of the accomplishments that our organization, teams, and individual members have achieved but we recognize that historical performance does not guarantee future success. We also acknowledge that we cannot guarantee outcomes like the ones you’ll find below. There are a lot of factors that impact the journey and the potential for positive results, of which, we are just one. With that said though, we are committed to ensuring that every member leaves both a better player and a better person then when they arrived.
