Southern Idaho Golden Eagles

Babes brings playing experience and an enthusiasm for the game of volleyball to the court. A family affair, Babes follows in the footsteps of her sister All-American Aneli Cubi-Otineru who played for CSI in 2005 and helped lead the Golden Eagles to a national championship. Another sister, Kawena Cubi-Otineru played for CSI in 2006, the first year Kalulu assisted for the Golden Eagles. From that point on she served as a volunteer assistant coach for the Golden Eagles until the fall of 2018 when she was hired to be CSI's full-time assistant.
She was the Head Coach for one season at Jerome High School before accepting the job at CSI.
Kalulu began her volleyball career, playing club ball for the Kamehameha club team in Hawaii in seventh grade. She continued to compete for that team for five years. A standout at University of Hawaii Lab High School, Babes led them to four state championships. In 1986, Babes competed on the 16U Junior National team, earning all-tournament honors.
Babes played one year at the University of Hawaii, ranking sixth all time since 1985 in service aces per game. In 65 games, she recorded 26 aces. Kalulu has four children - Darren, Daylen, Darian and Del. Darian “Peka”  who also played for CSI in 2011 and 2012.
