Viliami Tuivai immigrated to the United States in 1975 from the Kingdom Island of Tonga. He had to learn the English language and grew up in humble beginnings in Pomona California. Stood in line for lunch with a free lunch ticket till high school because of his family’s financial struggles and could never afford to play sports on recreation or club teams as a child because of the same reasons. Sports has played a major role in his development and progress and started playing team sports in Jr. High and really experienced the importance and value of team and self confidence that came from playing sports and training in high school. He told himself that one day he’ll offer free camps and clinics for kids who lived and shared that same experience of his childhood struggles; and in 2013 that Passion Project came to life with the support of community champions in the region of the 916 and nationally.

 

Coach’s Passion Project as a Community Leader is Invictus Youth Foundation which he is the Founder and President which teaches Life Skills through free camps and programs in basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, snowboarding, and skiing.

It is the hope and mission of Invictus Youth Foundation that:
