Hawaii women’s volleyball: 2019 season starts with Day 1 practice
Players were in Gym 1 before 640 Did a few warmups drills before official start at 7.
UPDATING
Practice very energized. very different from two years ago. Wasn’t just the AC.

In 2017, team took 90 minutes to compete a passing drill which was passing a ball over the net to a player in the receiving line, below the antenna, 150 consecutive times without dropping (team divided on 3 courts). Today it took maybe six minutes.
It’s the first official practice in the refurbished and newly climate controlled Gym I facility. #HawaiiWVB pic.twitter.com/Pqg9zAEzNA

They also went into 6-on-6 play, something that didn’t happen until much later in two-a-days last year.
No timed mile run with the track still be renovated.
Also, this will be Rika Okino’s final year. The redshirt junior is graduating in May.
IMHO, the Wahine have the same problem that the Warriors did. Lot of talent vying for six spots on the court.

Excited for the upcoming season. I see good things unfolding for this year’s team if they can stay healthy.
Cindy is Brooke Van Sickle here.
Thanks Cindy for all you do for the fans especially the videos on VT.
2. yes, all 16 in camp. Did you not think she’d be here?
Thanks for the updates Cindy! Now the countdown to the first match
Never really was posted that was she was here, social media etc, so just did not know.
Thank you for your update cindy
3 & 5. You’re welcome.
I am not posting on VT Looks like someone else picked up my Twitter as well as the videos shot by the SA’s Brian McInnis for Warrior World and couple from UH.
6. I see. Everyone pretty much here since summer began for second session. Last one was Hellvig, who got here this past week.
Congratulations to Rika!
Go Bows’
Thanks for your updates, Cindy. Feeding us hungry fans! Lots of talent vying for just a few spots sounds like a good problem to have.
It’s too bad Rika’s going to graduate a year early but congrats to her! She really made a lot of progress insofar as her defense and especially her serving compared to a couple of years ago. She will be missed!
GO BOWS!!

new thread up for Sunday
11. technically not graduating early. She is doing so in four years. Just giving up a final year of playing if she stayed as a fifth-year senior.
Very smart young woman. Was a valedictorian at Kalani, had the highest GPA on the Wahine last season. Would get more academic honors but doesn’t play enough to qualify for some.
