FAQs

What’s the difference between Instructional, Open Play, and Drills?

  • Instructional: Structured, skill-level-based classes focused on learning techniques, improving skills, and developing gameplay strategies.

  • Open Play: Recreational games where participants can enjoy playing with others without formal instruction.

  • Drills: Focused practice sessions designed to strengthen specific skills, improve consistency, and enhance overall performance.

Can I apply for all three programs?

Yes! You may apply for Instructional, Open Play, and Drills. However, you may only be selected for one program per session.

How are participants selected?

Participants are selected by the program instructors based on skill level, program requirements, and available space. Selection is not based on a first-come, first-served basis, and submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance.

How will I know if I’ve been selected?

Selected applicants will receive an email notification with instructions and a link to complete their registration and payment. Please make sure your email address is entered correctly on your application.

Can I register without submitting an application?

No. Registration is only available to applicants who have been selected through the application process.

What happens if I miss the application deadline?

Unfortunately, late applications will not be accepted. We encourage you to submit your application during the designated application period.

Is there a waitlist if I’m not selected?

Yes. A waitlist will be maintained in case additional spots become available.

Will I receive a refund if I withdraw from the program?

You may be eligible for a refund if you withdraw before the program begins. Refunds will not be issued once the program has started or after the scheduled program dates have passed.

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.
