Hawaii’s Chalei Reid holds ‘Reid to Achieve’ Volleyball Clinic

Current Hawaii Rainbow Wahine and former Kahuku standout Chalei Reid, was busy on the North Shore on Saturday as she held her 1st ever Reid to Achieve Volleyball Clinic.

“I was able to host a clinic here at Kahuku High School, and, as well as have a book drive to be able to get back, I mean, with, previously had floods going on so, just being able to donate books to the kids affected in the elementary,” said Reid.

The Book drive with help from local organizations who Reid partnered up with, allowed for those who attended the camp to drop off a book that would be donated.

As for the volleyball clinic itself, Reid along with current Kahuku High School athletes and some of her Hawaii teammates hosted 200 kids throughout the day.

The kids were split up into 2 sessions, the morning group was 5-9 year old’s while the early afternoon group was 10-12 year old’s.

“Just being able to get back to my community and just to all who supported me. I think it’s just a really humble way to just get back to the people and just let the kids have fun and just be able to experience volleyball,” said Reid.

It was also a chance for many kids in the community to meet one of Hawaii’s standout players, learn the basics of the sport and have a good time.

“All of us are family and are all around the island. Just to be able to meet them and just give them the experience to have fun. I think it’s just super, wholesome and special that I’m able to give back to them,” said Reid.

Reid hopes to hold more clinics like this one in the future.
