The Hawaii football team wants to hold a week of its training camp at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

If all goes according to plan, the Warriors would live in the barracks and use the base’s facilities for practices, meetings and meals.

Head coach Norm Chow said negotiations will continue next week. Chow is attending meetings on the mainland through this weekend.

In recent years, the Warriors lived in two dance studios in the UH athletic complex during training camp. After complaints of illnesses — one player missed the 2009 season after suffering from pneumonia — it was decided to house the players in the dormitories this year.

Training camp opens the first weekend in August. The Warriors were told they could stay in the dorms for only six nights because the complexes needed to be cleaned for the incoming students. The fall semester begins Aug. 20.

Chow said the daily rent of staying at the joint base is comparable to living in the dorms. UH officials estimated the daily dorm rent at $40 for a double-occupancy room. The Warriors will have 105 players in training camp.

Chow said the Warriors must spend part of training camp on campus because several players are enrolled in the second summer session, which runs through Aug. 10.

Every NCAA football team has a training camp. Some conduct their camps off campus.

The Warriors held their 1997 training camp at Barbers Point Naval Station.

The Warriors used to stay in the dorms. When one of the dorms was being renovated several years ago, June Jones, who was UH’s head coach at the time, decided to use the dance studios as a cost-saving measure.
