2016 COMMUNITY TENNIS HIGHLIGHTS USTA Hawaii brought tennis to community events that included the Great Aloha Run Health and Fitness Expo, the YMCA Healthy Kids Day, the ESPN Kids Fest, and Youth Day at the Capitol. High School tennis players and Junior Team Tennis players volunteered at these events, helping us to give children an opportunity to try tennis. We would like to give a special thank you to McKinley High School, Farrington High School and the Kilauea Junior Tennis Club for volunteering. FAMILY FUN DOUBLES The 7th Annual Family Fun Doubles brought 25 families together in the parent-child event of the year. Held at Central Oahu Regional Park every summer, they outlasted the heat and enjoyed the camaraderie. There were many proud moments among family members.
