Governor Josh Green recently joined key supporters and partners to announce the launch of the inaugural Hawai‘i High School Girls Flag Football season which is set to kick off in spring 2025.

Donors who made the season possible include the Las Vegas Raiders, who contributed $25,000, along with the National Football League, the Seattle Seahawks, Nike, Hawai‘i Medical Service Association, Hawai‘i Dental Service and Marcus Mariota’s Motiv8 Foundation.

The season will follow a seven-on-seven player format and is expected to involve 54 teams statewide, from Hawaiʻi Department of Education (HIDOE) schools and several private schools.

The inaugural season is being supported entirely by private sponsorships, reflecting strong community backing for this exciting new addition to high school athletics.

The culmination of the inaugural season will be the first ever state tournament to crown a state champion in girls flag football.
