"The Maui Summer Classic was one of the classiest and most exciting events our team has competed in. The players were able to see another culture, enjoy many water activities, socialize with other teams and enjoy great basketball. In addition, our families who attended the trip had a marvelous vacation. All in all, it was the tournament of a lifetime and built memories and relationships that will last forever."

"We just got back last night. Just a short note to once again thank you for a great time in Maui. The girls & the parents had a wonderful experience. We had an outstanding time. The closing ceremonies were one of the best parts of the event."
"Again thank you for the beautiful experience - our kids did it all, swam, surfed, biked down a volcano, flew in a helicopter, saw unforgettable sunrises & sunsets, met some great people, experienced outstanding hospitality and played some fun games of basketball - doesn't get any better than that !!
Once again thanks for the opportunity - we had a great time & brought back lots of fond memories."

"...this year’s tournament was everything we hoped for, everything you promised was brought to fruition.
Our experience with this tournament was exceptional! We have attended tournaments in Ohio as well as the other Hawaii islands and this one was terrific! The gyms as well as the staff running them did a great job and were, in my opinion, fair. We especially liked the fact that the referees allowed the boys to play the game and not get caught up in 'trivial' infractions.
The dance was the highlight for our boys, second only to winning runner up in the Jr. Boys division. Just the chance of being able to h ang out with the other participants in their own way, gave them a chance to relax and enjoy themselves.
The whole tournament from the opening ceremonies to the closing ceremonies ran especially well. It was well organized and we appreciate the hard work that your staff and you put into it. We will definitely be there next year!
In closing, a big Mahalo to you and your staff for everything. We are hoping to bring up a JV boys and girls team for next year."

"Michael, I know I have told you this before, but we all had the best trip we have ever had. The host hotel was great, the games were great and you were a wonderful host. We hope you will come to Maine this fall and visit! Please let us know and we will show some Northeastern hospitality.
Thanks,"

"Great tournament this year, it was so professional and organized. I can't thank you enough for what you have brought back to our island""Our kids enjoyed the competition from the teams from the mainland. Again, Michael my hats off to you and your staff for making the tournament in Maui a top notch tournament for future High School teams to come to. You could just feel the buzz and energy around the air at Closing Ceremonies. The local teams are already gearing up and really looking forward to next years tournament. The community was so supportive of this tournament because of the way you involved alot of the local people to be part of this tournament. I know for a fact that we will get more of the Hawaiian teams from the other islands involved next year now that we have seen how it was delivered. The High School coaches here in Maui now will definitely promote it within the islands without worrying about putting their stamp of approval on it."

"Michael, Every year this tournament just keeps getting better and better! As always, The Pearl City Chargers had a great time! We feel honored to be participating in an event such as the Maui Summer Classic. It is just pure Basketball fun from start to finish!
Thank you for working so hard to accommodate every team and all the little issues that come up unexpectedly. You and your staff has exceeded themselves once again, with their organization, skills and willingness to make this a successful tournament."
" The teams we played against were great opponents and seem to push our local teams to step up to a higher level of game, I am positive the mainland teams feel the same way about us, too. I believe the local teams were well represented and I am very proud of them."
"The awards ceremony was great! One of our players enjoyed himself so much that he ended up dancing with the Hula troupe! He got a lot of laughs for that.... Our boys will be back again next year and until then...
Aloha and Mahalo,"

"Hi Michael,
We had an absolutely. magnificent time in Maui. How can you not? The tournament was alot of fun and was well worth all those car washes we had to do in order to get to Maui. We also enjoyed the Luau and BBQ by Outback Steakhouse, but the girls cant stop talking about how much fun they had at the dance. Thank You!! so much for all the hard work you put into this tournament."
