Build the courts
We aren’t simply building courts. We’re building places where opportunity begins.
KŪLIA works with schools, communities, government agencies, landowners, businesses and charitable partners to develop, restore and improve beach-volleyball courts throughout Hawaiʻi.
Where we start
Priority goes to significant public benefit.
Projects that serve communities with limited recreational resources come first. A single well-placed court can change what a whole neighborhood of young people believes is possible.
Who we work with
- Schools
- Communities
- Government agencies
- Landowners
- Businesses
- Charitable partners
Potential locations
- Public park
- Appropriate beach area
- High school
- Middle school
- Community recreation area
- Existing facility needing restoration
Restoration counts. An existing court that has gone unusable is often the fastest way to return real playing time to a community.
Our standards
Every project must earn its place.
Environmental conditions
Sites are evaluated for shoreline dynamics, drainage, vegetation and long-term durability before anything is built.
Community input
Neighbors, existing users and local organizations are consulted first. A court should serve the people already there.
Cultural significance & compliance
Every project respects cultural significance and satisfies applicable government and permitting requirements.
Priority will be placed on projects that provide significant public benefit, particularly in communities with limited recreational resources.
Propose a court site
Know a place that needs a court?
Parks, schools, beach areas, community lots and neglected existing courts — if you know a site that would serve young people, tell us where it is.
Landowners, principals, athletic directors, community associations and residents are all welcome to submit a site.
We will review it against public benefit, environmental conditions, cultural significance, community input and permitting feasibility.
