Power League History
The Aloha Region Power League starting in 2011 with 12 teams in the U18 and U17 age divisions. It has continued to be a successful way for the top teams in the Aloha Region to compete in high level competition. In 2014, the Power League expanded to 24 teams in ages U18-U15 to allow for high level competition for our top teams in the region. Teams compete in the qualifying tournament in January to earn the opportunity to participate in the power league. The idea is to have our best teams, regardless of age division, to compete against each other in order to improve and prepare for their competition on the continent and to represent our Aloha Region.
In 2016, due to a high number of entrants, the Power League will be expanding again. There will be 36 teams competing for qualification into the 32 team league. There are 34 teams from Oahu and 2 teams from Maui playing in the qualification tournament over 3 weekends in January. Teams will be playing in at least 9 matches over the 4 day tournament.
In 2011, the Aloha Region Power League was founded with 12 participating teams and was able to grow each season with more interest and participating teams. In 2014, the league expanded to 24 teams with a qualifying tournament for teams to complete to participate in the series of tournaments. The competition between each team is determined by skill and not by age divisions in order to keep the teams at the same level to compete against each other. Teams will be moved based upon the finish in each tournament to shuffle the teams in each of the four divisions to balance tournament play. The level of play in the league has increased each season and it has helped to increase the level of play in our region and it has shown in our region's success in our regional, and national qualifiers and tournaments.

Power League Benefits
Matched Competition - The league is structured to maintain a high level of competition throughout the season for all participating teams. Power Pools are organized to effectively allow teams to play to their level and provide the opportunity to move up or down in pool strength depending on performance. With the Power Pool structure, the highest seed doesn't necessarily start by playing the lowest seed and the lowest seed has an equal opportunity to play their way into the championship final; every match has meaning. The competition level is always high, respective to each team, which creates a higher quality, more enjoyable event for all participants.

The balance of a team's schedule will generally be filled in by regional and national events (Las Vegas Classic, USAV Qualifiers and end the season with AAU Nationals and/or USAV Nationals (if qualified)).
