Instructional sessions are guided, skill-level-based classes that focus on technique and improvement. Open Play offers drop-in-style games without formal instruction.

How do I know if I got in?

You'll receive an email notification if selected—May 27 for Instructional, and June 2 for Open Play.

Can I register without entering the lottery?

No, registration is only available to those selected via the lottery process.

What happens if I miss the lottery deadline?

Unfortunately, late entries cannot be accepted. We encourage early sign-up during the designated period.

Is there a waitlist if I’m not selected?

Land Acknowledgement
Palama Settlement stands on the Native Hawaiian ancestral lands of Kapālama and Honolulu. We acknowledge that in 1893, Queen Liliʻuokalani yielded the Hawaiian Kingdom under duress to prevent bloodshed. We honor the generations of Kanaka Maoli whose knowledge systems and lifeways continue to steward the ʻāina, wai, and lewa, protecting the lāhui to this day. With a deep sense of kuleana, we integrate Indigenous values and traditions into our programs and services, fostering a community rooted in respect and resilience.
