Nā Hoa o Puna Soccer Club, founded by Coach Buddy Perry in 2009, focuses on teaching fundamental ball-handling skills. We always strive to create a competitive environment during training and games.  We are a possession-oriented club that develops the mental aspect for players to understand and demonstrate the process of successful team soccer: 1) Defend. 2) Possess. 3) Attack. 4) Score.

Nā Hoa builds travel teams to compete off-island throughout the year, gaining exposure, experience, and providing opportunities for individual players to realize their potential and play competitively against their peers. We have players from other clubs on our travel teams to elevate the competitive nature that the soccer world provides. 

The 7 Nā Hoa rules:

1) Look at the coach’s eyeballs when he/she talks.

2) Hustle during all drills, during games & on/off the field.

3) Use both feet AND ALL PARTS OF FEET.

4) Never ask the coach when/where you will play.

5) Always acknowledge and respect other Nā hoa members & families.

6)When the other team taunts you, look at the coach and smile.

7)During downtime, you are juggling or playing keep away.
