Vision
Guide and direct youth in developing “pono” values & character by providing them with positive opportunities to grow as productive citizens through athletics and community service programs.

History
All Pono was legally incorporated in the State of Hawaii as an IRS 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2007.  The purpose of the All Pono organization is to promote the meaning of “Pono…Do What Is Right”. In June of 2004, Jon and Maile Viela lost their three year old son Jrew Kupono Viela to a tragic accident.  The Vielas have two other children Jrae (13) and Jai (5).  Jon and Maile felt it was important to turn this tragic event into something positive and that is how the All Pono organization was born.

Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA)

Parents and Coaches are REQUIRED to attend one workshop a year sponsored by All Pono which focuses on positive coaching/parenting practices.  It is MANDATORY for parents/coaches to attend one PCA workshop a year to register with All Pono.  Two free parent workshops and one free coach workshop will be offered by All Pono each year.  Parents/coaches may choose to take advantage of these free workshops or take the course online at his/her own expense. The All Pono Sports Organization appreciates the time that our volunteer coaches commit to our programs.  We will not be requiring our coaches to participate in our parent workshop, however, highly recommend that he/she attend as a parent or send his/her spouse or other family member to attend.

Approach The Coach

If you need to speak with your child's coach, please ask for an appointment.  Team Moms may be able to assist you with this.  Please do not approach a coach before, during, or right after a game.  Please do not approach a coach during any practice.  Coaching requires constant focus on the development and game skills of each child.  Every coach needs to take time to refocus before speaking with parents/guardians.   Thank you for honoring this policy.
  

Any issue related to your child or the team should be brought up with the head coach prior to contacting administrator or the board.

If any parent issues and/or inappropriate behavior affect the team well-being and coaches in any way, All Pono will excuse  your ‘ohana from the organization.
