This youth flag football team isn’t just playing for touchdowns, they’re preserving a language and a legacy. Every practice, every huddle, and every play integrates ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, making this club one of the few sports teams in the state using Hawaiian as their primary language. More than a team, they are a movement, proving that culture and competition can thrive side by side. PROMA had the honor of speaking with their coaches and athletes, capturing how football is helping empower the next generation of ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi speakers through discipline, teamwork, and pride.
