Hawaiʻi’s rising tennis stars compete at Wailuku Tournament

Junior tennis players from across the Hawaiian Islands competed this past weekend in the Wailuku Halloween Junior Tournament, held at Wells Park and War Memorial Tennis Courts.

The two-day event, hosted by the Wailuku Junior Tennis Club, featured strong competition, spirited play, and great sportsmanship. The tournament brought together many of Hawai‘i’s top young athletes, who train year-round to compete in USTA-sanctioned events.

Since the pandemic, the number of junior tournaments in Maui County has declined, but the Wailuku Junior Tennis Club is working to revive many of the island’s most popular youth tennis events — helping to grow the game and provide more opportunities for young players to compete locally.
