Honolulu, Hawaii – On July 5, 2009, two hundred and thirty-four of the nation’s best football players participated in 10th Annual “King Kamehameha Football Classic” at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii. The summer of 2009 marks the second time that this prestigious event has been held at Aloha Stadium. Coaches and players alike were awestruck when walking down the tunnel into the stadium. One of the athletes remarked, “These are the same locker rooms and the same field that the NFL All-Pro team uses, this is awesome.” Nine teams representing 23 states competed in three divisions for individual championships.

The 2010 King Kamehameha Football Classic looks to be the largest event to date. This two-day event expects to have athletes from 45 states participating. Greg Tackett, National Recruiting Director for Elite Sports says, “we could have as many as 400-450 football players participating in 2009.” Elite Sports is expecting between 30-40 college coaches will be in Hawaii to coach the teams that will be participating.
