Girls flag football is gaining momentum across Oahu, introducing the sport to a broader range of educational institutions. Among these newcomers is DreamHouse, a public charter school that has recently established its inaugural varsity sports program with this season's kickoff. The school’s athletic director, Denise Lau, expressed excitement about showcasing DreamHouse student leaders on the field. By participating in the OIA league, DreamHouse aims to redefine the opportunities available to its students and foster a culture rooted in leadership and empowerment.

The journey toward establishing sports programs at DreamHouse began with understanding student interests. Through surveys, it became evident that basketball and girls flag football were highly favored. This revelation underscored the importance of creating avenues for female athletes to thrive in competitive environments. According to Lau, the introduction of girls flag football represents more than just a sporting event; it signifies an investment in the future of young women who now have the chance to shine on a larger stage. Despite facing challenges such as limited experience among players, the team remains optimistic about building something enduring through hard work and dedication.

This season marks not only the debut of DreamHouse's flag football team but also a pivotal moment for high school sports in Hawaii. Coach Micah Ah Sui emphasizes the legacy being created by the current roster, which primarily consists of younger players eager to learn and grow. Team members like Chevelle Kane highlight the significance of representing their school in what promises to be a memorable year. As they prepare for upcoming matches, including a home game against Waianae, the DreamHouse team embodies the spirit of perseverance and ambition, proving that even small beginnings can lead to great achievements.
