🌴🏈 Meet Coach Cam Leaupepetele—bringing energy, experience, and San Jose pride to Islands Best!

With 14 years of youth coaching experience and a San Jose HitSquad background, Coach Cam brings a no-nonsense approach. His philosophy is simple: “Shut up & listen!” His formula for success? “The less you say & more you work is the recipe!”

Bold, direct, and unapologetically himself, Coach Cam says, “Whatever you’ve heard—good or bad—believe it all. I don’t care!” 😂

A strong advocate for Polynesian youth sports, Coach Cam is passionate about creating opportunities for young athletes to grow, connect with their culture, and take pride in who they are. Through Islands Best, he wants his team to embrace the culture and carry those lessons far beyond the field.

Let’s welcome Coach Cam to Islands Best Bay Area family!
