Recap Big John Manumaleuna Camp – Seattle, WA
June 8, 2008
On Saturday, June 7, 2008, the Big John Manumaleuna Foundation held is free football and volleyball camp at Foster HS in Seattle, WA. As always the camp featured current/former professional and college players as coaches. This year, the camp brought top high school players from across the Puget Sound with coaching from former New York Jet Nuu Fa`aola and Kansas City Chief Frank Manumaleuna.
The up and coming PeeWee football players and volleyball girls were lucky enough to be coached by some of the finest University of Washington players. There were also appearances by some of our Seattle area, Class of 2008 Polynesian players that are going on to play football in college.
Ulitmate Edge Sports’ Simi Strickland were also on hand to talk to the athletes about the importance of staying in school, taking care of your parents and exposure. Simi talked about G.A.M.E.- Grades, Attitude, Motivation, Exposure. We were also there to debut our first magazine issue, which was dedicated to the Big John Manumaleuna Foundation.
The next camp will be on June 14, 2008 in San Diego. For more information, visit www.bigjohnfoundation.com or www.uedgesports.com.

I would like to send out a BIG fa’aMALO and FA’AFETAI tele lava to Frank Manumaleuna and his host of volunteers, Keeping Big Johns Vision Alive every year. A true Samoan at Heart. My son’s second time in three years. Thanks again for providing a free opportunity for our youth and my son Sefo. Hope and pray to see you all again next year in the very best of health.
