Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) is an

high schools in the state of Hawaii. It was founded in 1956 and is a member of the National Federation of State High School Associations
.

The HHSAA comprises schools from five leagues:

The HHSAA conducts state high school championships in the following sports: boys and girls

soccer, softball, boys and girls swimming and diving, boys and girls tennis, boys and girls track and field, boys and girls volleyball, girls water polo, and boys and girls wrestling.[1]

In 2024, the Hawaii Department of Education announced that girls' flag football would be added to the list of supported sports.[2] This was done after an informal survey determined that it was among the top three of wanted sports by student athletes.[3] It was the first sport to be added to the list in 20 years (with the exception of e-sports, which was sanctioned in 2019[4]),[5] and makes Hawaii the 12th state in the nation to sanction it at the high school level. The program is being supported by the NFL (National Football League), Seattle Seahawks, Nike, and Marcus Mariota's Motiv8 foundation.[6]
