The Spikes for Tykes Volleyball Festival started as the 2008 RPJ Summer Volleyball Tournament. Fourteen teams competed in that tournament at the Manoa District Park Gym, and the Rising Phoenix Jaycees – also known as RPJ – held the tournament to raise funds for its Keiki Movie Day, a project that sponsors a day of fun and games at the movies for local special needs keiki and their families. The 2009 tournament featured 17 teams, as well as food from Chun Wah Kam, Lava Dogs, and a shave ice booth manned by Adopt-A-School-Day volunteers. This year’s festival has expanded to include a Coed draw.
