It’s always the relationships that you get from being part of a team that are special.”
When it comes to girls high school soccer in Hawai’i, the Ka Makani wahine are the gold standard. Under the direction of head coach Steve Perry, HPA has won a record seven consecutive state championships and are perennially among the best squads in Hawai’i.
The winning culture is strong in Waimea and what makes the HPA program special is that each year the team starts from scratch, eager to climb back to the top of the mountain.
The team’s success has led to many next-level opportunities for Ka Makani players through college scholarships. “We have been fortunate to have some very talented kids come through our school,” says head coach Steve Perry.
Malia Brost, a 2021 HPA graduate, signed a letter of intent as a gap year student-athlete with Soccer Management Institute to train, play, and study at Link University of Rome, Italy. “Italy has provided me the opportunity I sought in life and sport. I have immersed myself into the culture by living and learning the language while elevating my soccer skills more in line with the technical and tactical European style.”
Gabbie Ewing ’15, wrapped up a stellar four-year career at Concordia University. Following her time with the Cavaliers, Ewing garnered attention from Skövde KIK, a professional team in Sweden. She signed a deal with the club, becoming the first former Ka Makani player to go pro.
