All Poly Football Camp Coming to O’ahu for the First Time
Summer 2009
2009 Hawaii All Poly Football Camp, June 29 – July 1 at Ko ‘Olina and West Oahu
All Poly Sports and the Polynesian Coaches Association (PCA) have teamed up with HHSAA, “VILI THE WARRIOR. INC/ PROJECT HOPE”, the NFL, Hawaii Speed and Quickness, Jimmy Higgins and others, to bring to Hawaii for the first time the highly acclaimed All Poly Football Camp for the Summer of 2009.
The All Poly Camp was started in 2001 by Alema Te’o, and has been run successfully every summer in Bountiful, Utah.
“All Poly†was so named because the College Coaches and NFL players who ran the camp who were of Polynesian ancestry, including Haloti Ngata, Duce Lutui, and Ed Mulitalo to name a few. Today the All Poly Camp is recognized as one of the elite contact football camps in the United States. For All Poly Camp Hawaii 2009, players can expect to work with many top NFL players, including UH standouts and current NFL players Colt Brennan, Davonne Bess, Chad Owens, Vince Manuwai and Samson Satele. Other NFL players for 2009 Camp includes Mario Fatafehi, Alfred Pupunu, Marvin Philip, and Joe Wong.
To highlight this year’s 1st Hawaii Annual All Poly Camp, a Keiki Camp (ages 5-12), and a Warrior Camp (ages 13-15) will be an exciting addition. The PCA will provide approximately 40-50 division I, division ll, JC and NAIA college coaches and NFL players to instruct anywhere between 650-1000 of the best football players in the state of Hawaii. In 2008, more than 50 Seniors who attended the All Poly camp in Utah signed with colleges throughout the country. More than 40 signed with Division I programs, and at least 20 of those were from the State of Hawaii. Some players that attended this camp last year, were selected to play in the 2009 “Hawaiian All-Star Classic.”
For 2009 All Poly Camp Hawaii, players will receive instruction from top coaches of notable programs around the country including University of Hawaii’s Coach Greg McMackin, Rich Miano and the entire UH Warriors Coaching Staff, Dan Hawkins (Colorado), Norm Chow (UCLA), Mike Sanford (UNLV), Jim Harbaugh (Stanford), Kyle Wittingham (Utah), Mike Leach (Texas Tech). ESPNU’s David Gleasen will be organizing live recording and reporting feed.
All-Poly is a full-contact camp. Players receive meals, a camp T-shirt, exposure to college coaches and the opportunity to compete against some of the best football players in the state and in the country.
The All Poly Camp focuses on our youth and seeks to promote healthy lifestyles. The All Poly Camp is not only focused on football, but a big emphasis is placed on academics. All student athletes will be required to attend workshops. The workshops cover life skills, ACT prep, NCAA Clearing House, and team building exercises. Parents are encouraged to participate along with the Student Athlete.

RIVALS.COM and SCOUT.com TO
ATTEND ELITE CAMP
In a highly unlikely event,
and for the first time in Hawaii, rivals.com and scout.com will make
its debut together at the 1st All Poly Sports Inaugural Camp.
History itself shows that these national recruiting services have been
competitors for many years anticipating that one is better that another.
However, that will not be the case at the Hawaii All Poly Camp. The
Elite camp is scheduled be held on Oahu later this month.
In a growing demand for coverage
of high school sports and recruiting news, rivals.com and scout.com
are the two dominant Web sites that provide the latest information on
upcoming recruits, videos and message boards. Both will offer each All
Poly football participant a recruiting database, up-to-the minute interviews,
a display of highlight reels and will not cost the athlete anything.
“While rivals.com claims
more than 150,000 subscribers; Scout.com says its subscriber base stands
at more than 200,000â€. Average users on these sites include colleges,
coaches, fans and the athlete themselves.
“It is our utmost obligation
to give as many Hawaii High school athletes an abundance of exposure
that we can give themâ€, say camp organizers. All camp participants
are asked to bring either two games or season highlight films for the
national networks.
Rivals.com is the ”stickiest”
sports Web site around, meaning its visitors stay there the longest.
The average user of Rivals.com in December 2005 spent 1 hour, 10 minutes,
34 seconds, according to Nielsen/ Net Ratings. Rivals.com attracted
1.7 million unique users of free content last month, rating it the one
of the most popular sports Web site.
Scout.com is an integrated
sports publishing company consisting of two separate divisions that
work closely together to deliver a unique and highly integrated Internet
and print product offering. Scout directly provides more than 2.1 million
people with content, while translating 1,100 pieces of content daily,
making Scout as the most read independent sports publisher in the country.
“The opportunity for recruiting
here is excitingâ€, that according to a camp spokesperson. “This
establishes a protocol that will embark in the forthcoming years for
high school athletics. What this does is broaden the avenues of exposure
for other high school sports in Hawaii. This is very positive!â€
