"Blow the Whistle, it's Official!"

Play Ball Official Camp is a Hawaii-based (501c3) nonprofit organization whose mission is centered around educating, empowering, and exposing athletes, of all ages and gender, to the art, fundamentals, and structure of officiating various sports, while enjoying and experiencing their game(s) of choice. Additionally, we strive to help identify officiating and coaching career opportunities, around the world, that may otherwise be overlooked. Our vision at Play Ball Official Camp is to create a host of committed, qualified, and enthusiastic community sports officials, who have an appreciation for the holistic benefits associated with participation and training in team sports on all levels. 

Eric V.T. Lee, initially established the organization in the summer of 2022, and has a wealth of experience in coaching children and adults in baseball, basketball, football, and other sports. Since then, he has taken steps to formalize the organization, obtain 501c3 IRS tax exempt status, and further develop programming and partnerships to move the organization into what will become a bright future. Under the leadership of Eric, and the oversight of a dedicated board of directors, Play Ball Official Camp will become a household name in Honolulu, throughout Hawaii, and eventually throughout the U.S.

We take pride in implementing and executing our three foundational pillars of 

Education – Empowerment – Exposure 

while teaching the following core values:

Teamwork

Commitment

Honesty

Integrity

Passion

Sportsmanship

Mentoring

Safety

Our primary goal is to help athletes, and their families, become more conscious and aware of the sport, skill, and opportunity associated with officiating sports, on a variety of levels, and piquing the interest of those who may otherwise lack exposure.
