"I have played with and against Alika for years. He is one of the best all-around players I know. Some guys are great blockers or setters but don't have all the skills. Alika has all the skills. Anyone under his tutelage is very fortunate to have such a well rounded coach."
Todd Rogers, Beach Volleyball Gold Medalist 2008 Beijing Olympics/ Number One ranked Player on the AVP Beach Tour and FIVB Beach World Tour
"Alika has become one of the premier trainers in the game of volleyball. As a player, he competed at the highest level on the AVP with some of the best players in the world. His training of my daughter Lizzy gave her the confidence, skills, and discipline to make the Punahou varsity team in her senior year. Alika’s teaching inspires and guides his students to become the best they are capable of becoming. It is with this dedication of passing his knowledge onto the next generation of volleyball players that I highly recommend you call Alika at Hunakai Hi Performance."
Pete Balding, Head Coach Punahou Varsity Girls Volleyball/ Father of Hunakai HI Performance Student
"I have been around athletics for quite some time, and have observed many coaches at many different levels. It is clear to me that the truly gifted coaches have the unique ability to both enlighten and inspire the athlete to heights beyond their dreams. Alika Williams is one of those coaches. His manner is so easy and personable and his instruction is backed by an immense knowledge base. He has a way of making his athletes love what they're doing which is really what it's all about. I can't say enough about Alika. He's a great person, a great coach and I recommend him in the highest regard."
Dr. Darryl Kan, M.D., father of Hunakai HI athlete
"I can't begin to express how grateful I am for the training my two daughters received with you this Summer at Hunakai HI Performance. Many people didn't understand why I chose to fly all the way from Michigan to Hawaii for 10 days of sand training, but today the results became tangible. Malia made her varsity volleyball team as a Sophomore and Makena made JV as a Freshman. I am so proud of them and in total awe of their improvement and the confidence they gained from working with you. Over the past 4 years, I have spent $10,000+ on club volleyball for the girls with marginal results. We always seemed to fall victim to club politics, bad coaching, or lower skilled teammates. Training at Hunakai HI Performance is absolutely the best investment in my daughters volleyball career I have made to date. I will no longer have to gamble with pricey club fees and unknown coaches. You deliver training that is worth the 9 hour plane ride! Anyone serious about improving their volleyball, indoor or sand, needs to work with Alika. His knowledge of and passion for the game is unmatched and inspired my daughters to work hard and take it to the next level. We will be part of the Hunakai HI Performance 'ohana for years to come...even 4000 miles away in Ann Arbor, MI!"

"Aloha Coach Alika, I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for the sand court sessions that my daughter, Tayler Higgins, was able to attend. Although we attended only two sessions, I believe Tayler was able to use what she learned to strategize her setting and hitting at the National Championships. Her team had a great run despite losing some of of their starting players to injuries and finished 3rd place, Gold Div. So thank you again. We appreciate your time and efforts."
