Join the ShortCourt Tennis Fun!

ShortCourt Tennis has been growing rapidly across Hawaii, bringing players of all ages and skill levels together for fast, fun, and social tennis! Our ShortCourt Social Series has already seen great turnouts, and there’s still plenty of action ahead. We’re continuing to host free ShortCourt clinics at Ala Moana Park, perfect for beginners or anyone looking to get back on the court.

Mark your calendars for our upcoming events: a Thanksgiving ShortCourt Tournament on 11/22–11/23 at Kailua District Park, where friendly competition meets festive fun, and the Burn the Birds ShortCourt Clinic on 11/28 at Ala Moana Park, a great way to stay active and challenge yourself before the holiday season.

ShortCourt Red Ball Tennis is a FUN, social experience designed to bring new players to the courts and have them playing the game within 10 minutes! With modified equipment and an all-inclusive package, Red Ball Tennis is the perfect way for new players to learn the game or for former players to get back out on the courts.

In 2024, the USTA conducted more than 470 pilots with over 23,000 players to understand player, coach, and administrator feelings toward an easier, social, and less competitive format of play. With 75% of players indicating they wanted to play more ShortCourt Tennis, this is a proven, successful way to introduce new players to the game.

With slightly smaller court dimensions, ShortCourt is SOCIAL and easy to play!
