| Joe Rapp - Founder and Executive Director and Head Coach |
Today, I stopped by at Ranch 99 looking for a great deal on a plate lunch and instead ran into the Hawaiian Island Twisters Gymnastics. It was an awesome treat meeting up with Joe Rapp (photo above), Founder and Executive Director and Head Coach. It was amazing to watch his elite students going through their practice and I forgot all about my plate lunch. Joe related that "HIT" started back in Kaneohe in 2006. They since moved to Mapunapuna Ranch 99 Market and have been here for the past 10 years. "Our goal here is to educate kids not only in the sport of gymnastics, but in life and to get them in Collegiate Gymnastics and full right scholarship. Since I started "HIT" we have had 34 full right scholarships and 22 partial scholarships."
Hawaiian Island Twisters (HIT) is a nonprofit gymnastics program dedicated to enriching the lives of boys and girls of all ages. What started as a team of twenty girls has grown to a program that serves over a thousand athletes. From toddler to high school, from recreational to competitive our gym continues to push boundaries and more important, our gymnasts have not lost sight of the primary goal, which is to have fun in a healthy, supportive environment.
