Your Coaches

Coach Dwayne Lopez grew up on the courts of the Nuʻuanu YMCA as a proud “Nuʻuanu Ball Boy.” Now, he returns to give back—bringing decades of coaching experience rooted in strong values, life lessons, and a deep love for the game.

Joining him is his son, Coach Trey—named after the three-point shot—who was coached by his dad through youth and club basketball. Coach Trey became a standout player, where the three-pointer became his signature.

Together, they’re offering a clinic where kids & teens can sharpen their skills, enjoy the game, and grow—both on and off the court.

Specialty and enrichment camps offer unique opportunities for kids to explore their interests and passions. These programs can be registered as standalone options or added to your child’s Summer Day Camp experience and we'll escort your child to and from their specialty camp, ensuring a seamless experience.
