USTA Hawaii was in full swing these past two weekends, bringing tennis, fun, and community together! We kicked things off at the Young at Heart Expo on September 26–27, followed by the ESPN Honolulu Sports & Food Fest on October 4, and wrapped up with Hawaii Children & Youth Day on October 5.

Each event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the community, and we were thrilled to see so many people of all ages stopping by the USTA Hawaii tents and tennis courts. Visitors had a blast trying out ShortCourt Red Ball tennis, learning the basics of the game, and getting hands-on experience with our softer red balls and smaller racquets. We also had a ton of giveaways that added to the excitement and drew in crowds eager to participate and learn more about our programs.

It was amazing to meet so many new faces and see the joy and enthusiasm that tennis brings to the community. From families and kids to teens and adults, everyone had the chance to engage, play, and explore what USTA Hawaii has to offer.

None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our incredible volunteers, who helped run activities, assist participants, and ensure each event ran smoothly.

A huge mahalo to everyone who stopped by, participated, or lent a helping hand—you made these weekends a memorable celebration of sport, fun, and community. We can’t wait to see you at our upcoming events and on the courts!

Thank you to HPU tennis team who came in full force to volunteer at the ESPN Expo and the McKinley High School tennis team volunteering at Children and Youth Day! Both teams were critical volunteer groups that supported us the entire day at these events and their presence is greatly appreciated!

We couldn’t do it without all of you!
