The Hiler Trophy – named in honor of Guy H. Hiler, a Caribbean national who became involved in working for the promotion and uplifting of Caribbean people – will be awarded to a player who best exemplifies true sportsmanship and the spirit of the Caribbean Beach Volleyball Championship. The 2007 winner was JJ Colina, who spends a lot of his free time putting together the Vball Tampa web site that keeps players well informed on volleyball activities in the Tampa, FL area.
