Noticed that Mita Uiato is helping out at the youth camp this week. Is she here just for the week or will she be staying here awhile to get her masters or even be the new volunteer coach?
I know Nick Castello was the volunteer coach for the past couple of years but that position usually changes once in a while to bring in new blood. Would be great to have Mita on the staff.
1. lots of good coaches out there. A matter of being able to afford to be a volunteer.
There was a good article on the VNL website about the Shoji brothers and their father, Dave Shoji. Here is the link for anyone interested:
