Arc of Maui County will have its first annual fundraiser at Flatbread Co., Paia, on August 25th, from 4-10PM. There will be a Silent Auction with a variety of prizes. A percentage of food sales and all proceeds from the auction will pay for new recreational and educational equipment for the Adult Day programs.
Arc of Maui was established in 1954 by a group of parents and concerned citizens who sought services for their children with developmental disabilities when none were available. The Agency offers community support (three Adult Day Health Programs, Personal Assistance Programs), housing (five residential group homes with a sixth in the licensing phase) and employment assistance. Arc of Maui County has programs in Wailuku, Hana, Molokai and Lanai.

Aloha and congratulations on being selected to participate in the 10th annual Hawaii High School Basketball Exposure Camp!
You have the opportunity to participate in this camp that will feature 50 of the top players (underclassmen & 2014 graduates) in the state of Hawaii, Guam and Australia.
It is the only camp in the state with a staff of all college coaches from Hawaii and the mainland as well as Aloha State basketball greats such as Derek Low, Jesse Nakanishi, Kyle Pape and Rashaun Broadus.
The Hawaii High School Basketball Exposure Camp, run by the Maui Sports Academy, is by far the #1 basketball camp in the state. The camp, the first of its kind, has been a huge success with over 450 players from around the state representing all six islands and schools such as ‘Iolani, Punahou, Kamehameha (all 3 campuses), Kahuku, Kalaheo, Hilo, Moanalua, Radford, Pahoa, Konawaena and Baldwin among others. See the list to the left of some of the great players that have attended.
The dates for the 2014 camp are June 4-8 and it will be held on OAHU at Kalani High School.
The camp’s capacity is set at 50 in order to guarantee a player-to-coach ratio of about 6:1, therefore assuring as much individual attention and instruction as possible.
The camp will be run similar to the prestigious 5-Star camps that take place on the east coast each summer. All the coaches have extensive camp experience as well as being college level coaches. You can learn more about the camp, the coaches and see pictures on our website at mauisportsacademy.com.
The cost of the camp is $425. The fee includes camp basketball gear (reversible jersey and shorts), camp T-shirt, indoor basketball, evaluation form filled out by a coach that can be sent out to college coaches and outstanding instruction from very experienced coaches. All outer-island campers are responsible for their own airfare to Oahu. For those that need housing, host families will be arranged at no cost to the camper.
To ensure your spot you must return this registration form along with full payment of $425 in the form of a check or money order made out to the Maui Sports Academy ASAP, spots are filling up. An early registration discount of $25 will be applied to any payment post-marked before May 4th. You may also register instantly online at mauisportsacademy.com. Financial assistance is available. Just ask! No other camp in the state provides this option. Those that participated in this program in the past on average received $283 towards their camp fee.
We are very excited about the 10th addition of this camp!!!

Youth athletes from around Maui County seek to break records as they converge at the Yamamoto Track & Field Facility in Wailuku on Saturday, March 8th.
Did anyone else notice the totally inappropriate music being played over the loud speakers at this Youth Sports event?

Sorry about the poor quality videos. I was at the tournament to support my daughter, and I never intended to shoot any videos, just a few photos with my iPhone. The battery started to run low on the phone, so I switched to my Kindle Fire tablet, not really knowing how to use it. In any case, I was able to capture my daughter losing her shoe in the 100m dash. Haha!

Also according to the National Alliance for Sports, these kids will never play those sports again. Never.
Pass another doughnut and plonk them down at the computer screen until it’s time to take them to hospital in a specially built and reinforced obese person’s ambulance. Never is an awfully long time.
While you are standing on the sidelines of the cricket/netball/hockey/rowing this morning before you drive off to another sideline on the other side of town, do you think your child will be among the 30 per cent who stick at it?
Well, going by research, if you are a yeller, probably not. Children hate mothers and fathers behaving aggressively on the sideline of junior sports events, especially their own.
So, how’s that new barracking rule working for you? You know the one where some sporting codes have introduced lollipops for parents to put in their mouths because their barracking became so out of hand and abusive.
I met a man in the butcher’s shop (where all good gossip happens) and he’s talking about his latest efforts coaching junior teams for his three kids – rugby, league and hockey. This is an intelligent, skilled, thoughtful junior coach out there in the nice suburbs of Brisbane.
“Every weekend I am called a f—wit and even a c—, on the sideline, in a carpark full of Mercedes and BMWs. Even in front of their kids.”
Parents. We’re just fantastic creatures, aren’t we? We tell our kids how much we do for them, driving them everywhere for sport, buy all the gear so they look like mini-professionals – 10-year-olds in $300 boots and top-line $150 compression gear “to reduce lactic acid and muscular fatigue” – and what’s it all about really?
If we’re honest, it’s ego. Not the kids’. The parents’ ego. Deep down, if we interrogate our motives, what starts off as wanting our children to be active and learn to love physical activity can sometimes morph into something else.
What’s all that hoopla about sons in the first XI and first XV stuff? Yes, it’s admirable to strive to sporting excellence. But when I first moved to Brisbane and realised actual grown-up men were standing around at a party talking and obsessing over that kind of thing, I had to check: “You are talking about your KIDS’ sport, aren’t you?”
When I was growing up, parents mostly didn’t really hang around. They dropped you and went off to take care of the other 10 kids in the family. Or did other grown-up things like earn a living, shop for groceries or go to the pub.
Mostly we played sport unwatched. The ref wasn’t screamed at and abused by hostile parents. We played our sport for ourselves – basically for the fun of running around a paddock with our mates. And it was bloody fantastic and enormously freeing.
Someone who has spent his life playing and coaching sport and pondering how to retain young athletes in sport for life is Peter Gahan, head of player and coach development with Australia Baseball, after years at Queensland Academy of Sport. I rang him to pick his brains about kids and sport (in a month of Bernard Tomic’s father assault charges and Nudgee College’s steroid scandal) and to ask: “Where has all the fun gone?”
Fun needs to be at the very heart of sport, says Gahan. Even at the elite level, he says, research now shows all athletes need a fun activity in their training session. He says countries must walk the fine line of wanting elite sportspeople while encouraging mass participation.
“Research looking at 8000 schoolchildren in the UK revealed that the perceived lack of competency and ability stopped them from playing. They wanted to impress and look good but they couldn’t, they gave up,” Gahan says.
He says New Zealand has introduced a fundamental movement skills program in primary school with a sports officer in those schools to oversee the program.
“It covers 14 basic skills including running, hopping, throwing – the basics that are age-specific from Year 1. From what I hear, New Zealand is going to start kicking our arse at the next Olympics because, with this program, they will have a greater pool of athletes to choose from coming through.”
He sees the obesity epidemic as entirely avoidable.
“A lot of the research on childhood obesity points at the fact that the kids are eating the same amount of calories as their fitter counterparts. They are just not moving. They are sitting in front of a TV or computer.”
So, why do most kids quit sport? Well, one of the main reasons, apart from the obvious ones – didn’t like the coach, not enough time, too much pressure – is one parents don’t want to think about: The car ride home.
The car ride home after playing sport can be a game-changer. Whether you are five or 16, the journey from ground to home can be a non-stop parent teaching moment.
Whether you’ve played well or lousy, your dad can let you know what you should have done.
Should have run when you should have passed, should have kicked.
He becomes one of those shoulda- coulda-woulda dads.
Mum goes off about the netball umpire, bitch, and your coach not giving you enough playing time, cow. Yep, that car ride home can be pure joy.
If you can, try not to stuff up the car ride home, Gahan says.
The car ride home is when the kid just wants to quietly let the game sink in – whether a win or a loss.
They know if they’ve played well or badly. You don’t need to tell them. The car’s a pretty intense closed environment. They can sense your every thought, disappointment, anger, even a bit too much pride. It’s all there, crowding in. Every sigh, every shrug is amplified.
So, I ask, what do you say on the car ride home?
Gahan says: “What about, ‘geez, I love watching you play out there’?”

2013 HCRA State Championships
Maui’s Youth Paddlers Strike Gold, Bring Home State Title and Division A Championship
Maui has exerted its dominance once again by winning the Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association State-Championship regatta at Hanalei Bay on the strength of its ʻŌpio or youth paddlers.
Hawaiian Canoe Club won nine races, seven in the keiki division, and finished with 351 points for its 11th Large-Club State Title in the last 15 years.
Nā ʻŌpio took gold in the girls 12, 13, 14, 16 and 18 age brackets, while the boys struck twice in the 15 and 16 races.
Hawaiian Canoe Club’s keiki coach Paul Luuwai was obviously quite pleased with the results.
“They took seven gold medals. Some clubs don’t get seven in the entire regatta. I’m really proud of them.”
“After seeing all those crews win golds it was like, ‘If they can do it, we can do it,’ ” said Tianna Yonemura, who helped the girls 16 and 18 crews win gold.
Hawaiian had nine other paddlers on a pair of championship crews – Kalena Vaivai, Mikaela McDaniel, Kamaile Lee, Palekana Pamat-Hett, Kaysha Terry-AhKui, Kaya Given-sel, Taysia Pimentel, Hiilei Luuwai and Kahili Novikoff.
The Napili Mixed 12 Crew after winning a state title
Napili Canoe Club won the A Division (clubs with no more than six crews) by a total of 51 points, just 1 point over Kawaihae.
The youth crew of Victoria Decoite-Wilsey, Keala Cabanilla, Kauanoe Keahi, Kaleo Nuesca, Aukai Kama and Ikaika Viela took the Mixed 12 Title for Napili Canoe Club.
“They worked hard and deserved everything they got,”
Napili coach Joey Tihada said of his club.
