A Letter from the Athletic Coordinator:
Aloha Kihei Charter School Ohana:
The Kihei Charter School Athletic Department is committed to the overall vision and mission of the school. The department strives to have its athletes reach their full potential in all areas of the athletic experience academically, socially, and through the realm of competition. Athletes are held to the athletic department policies and also to our academic requirements.
The athletic department is anxiously anticipating the next season and is excited to have the opportunity to work with you. Student athletes will experience some of the most rewarding moments in their lives, as they become involved in the athletic program at Kihei Charter School.
Student athletes are striving to succeed in two demanding areas simultaneously – academics and athletics. Student athletes have the responsibility of developing and working toward an educational goal as well as training in their sport. The athletic department encourages excellence in the classroom stressing STUDENT first in the student athlete.
I hope your experience with the Kihei Charter Athletic Program is a successful and enjoyable one. You can contact me at [email protected] for any further information.
It is a Great Day to be a Tiger Shark!

ATHLETIC COORDINATOR’S PHILOSOPHY
1. Strive for an environment where athletics & academics work together to develop the “whole child”.
2. Use athletics to teach “life lessons” & reinforce “positive character traits”: Self-discipline; work ethic;
teamwork; setting priorities; self-motivation, sportsmanship; and the importance of “TEAM” rather
than focusing on the “I”.
3. I feel strongly that a program that focuses on teaching the above skills will ultimately become a
winning program.
4. I believe our programs should win with character and lose with honor.
5. Sportsmanship by staff, players and fans is extremely important.
6. Learn your “WHY” and then allow that to motivate you.
