Fridays @ Kapiolani 🌺 . 430pm start time!

********Please note: Hosted by Jess! We are trialling a new start time - 430pm - 6pm. You are encouraged to arrive at the courts early to secure a court. ******

Please do not show up to the courts and expect to play if you are waitlisted. Kapiolani is usually VERY busy at this time, hence smaller group size. If you show up, and we are busy - I have to ask you to wait on the benches.

Please bring a racket, optional $ donations, optional ball donations, and low expectations :) Many of us have not played tennis in a very long time... so expect to be patient and kind!

Due to limited court space, event capped at 8. Will open up for rspvs on Friday mornings. If the event is full, please get on the waitlist, we often have last minute cancellations and may be able to get you in.

Generally for intermediate players, but if you've hit the ball a few times before, maybe used to play and haven't in a long time and are willing to run, you'll probably fit in fine. People who have absolutely never played before I would advise against for this event just because we have limited such court space.

Here is the usual drill: Doubles across all courts, preferably 2 courts so up to 8 people playing at once, or depending on people's preferences, one to several single courts as well, rotating every two to three songs (via little speaker I bring).

Serving is fine but optional, a lot of people just do a drop serve to start the ball. This is literally just hitting. No points. I find that this simple set up allows for the most racket-ball contact while minimizing pressure to make a point. I have found that this is the perfect format for beginners, while also being a chill and fun option for practice for folks above 3.0. If there are 6 people there will be a singles court. If there are 7 there will be a 2 on 1 singles court. It's beautiful simplicity :)

Very important: the wait lists for these events is quite long. So please only rsvp if you are serious about attending. If you are not sure if you want to come, shoot me an email if you have questions about it. A lot of people are nervous about coming to these things alone - please don't worry, most of us are pretty bad at tennis. It's just for fun :)

But if you rsvp and don't attend, I have to remove you.

Ready? Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for reading!
