Aloha, Rainbow Wahine Volleyball Supporters!


The Wahine Volleyball Booster Club was formally organized in 1987 but has been informally supporting the Rainbow Wahine Volleyball program since the very early 80's. Its primary purpose is to support the University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine Volleyball program so that it can remain one of the elite programs in the country. It does this through monetary donations, organizing and running special program events, and providing that special sense of ohana to the players and staff that is so unique to Hawaii. At the wheel of this organization are four officers and four directors who are elected every two years. They set the course and direction for the club, but it is our members who volunteer for the various activities of the club that power the organization. Our family of volunteers are always ready to help -- not only our team, but the visiting teams as well. The reputation of our volleyball program and its booster organization is well known among the coaching fraternity and many look forward to scheduling a trip to the "fabled land of volleyball".

Our Mission
It is the mission of the UH Wahine Volleyball Booster Club to provide financial and moral support, attract new fans, and promote a positive environment that will maintain the nation’s elite volleyball program.

Our Vision
To provide the best academic and athletic environment for the student athletes at any university in America.

WAC Tournament Schedule and Ticket Prices (10/16/09)

Ticket prices for the 2009 WAC Volleyball Tournament are as follows:
All-session tickets - $45 (5 matches)
Single-session adult tickets - $20
Single-session students/youth - $10
Kids 2 and under – free

Participating Team Ticket Requirements

Each school that participates in the tournament is required to purchase 75 all-session tickets. Because of this, Hawaii fans are encouraged to buy their WAC Tournament tickets from the UH Ticket Office so that UH can meet its ticket allotment. Furthermore, there are several service and convenience fees associated with the online ticket sales through the Orleans Arena website. Therefore, fans and boosters are strongly urged to buy from the UH Ticket Office rather than the Orleans Arena in order to help the school meet its allotment and to save money.

Ticket Sales Timeline

While all-session tickets are on sale now through the Orleans Arena website, the UH Ticket Office (956-4482) is currently just taking names and contact information from interested ticket buyers. The Ticket Office expects to receive the tickets soon and will be contacting the people who put their names on their list soon after. Single session tickets will not be available for purchase until one week prior to the start of the tournament, beginning Monday November 16.

Countdown to 1,000 Put On Hold (10/13/09)


Head coach Dave Shoji’s career record stands at 999-175-1. His first chance at getting the 1,000 win of his career was supposed to come tomorrow, October 14, in the match with Louisiana Tech. However, the match against Louisiana Tech has been postponed. Severe weather in northern Louisiana and east Texas, caused Louisiana Tech to miss its scheduled flight and subsequent alternate routes to Honolulu.

The match has been postponed until Monday, Oct. 19, at 7:05 p.m. at the Stan Sheriff Center.

Now, the next scheduled match is Saturday, Oct. 17 against New Mexico State. First serve is 7:05 p.m. Head coach Dave Shoji needs one more victory for 1,000 career wins.
