Jr. Prep Sports football has created quite a pipeline of players to varsity football in Hawaii and the mainland.
There are 16 different organizations in Hawaii playing tackle and flag football under the Jr. Prep Sports banner.
One of those organizations — the Ewa Beach Sabers – provided Hawaii Prep World with a list of its alumni who are now playing or have played varsity football in the past.

The Sabers, who are owned by Pastors Tuli Amosa and Sai Amosa, have five teams — two in Grades K-4 in flag football and three in Grades 5-8 in tackle football. They have between 150 and 190 players during a given season in the year-round JPS that runs fall and spring seasons.
Awesome program out there. Lots of talent on the West side. Keep up the good work Amosa aiga and company.
Big Mahalo to all you JPS & Pop Warner coaches, without you a lot of kids would probably get into some trouble, you helped me when I was young thats for sure!!!
I hope theyre going to do this for every team. Also this does not mean these boys are from this area. I know lots of kids that played for different leagues. This article makes no sense.
I know that it’s a consorted effort, especially when working with all of these awesome young kids and families, but I’d also like to mention the Tagovailoa’s. Diane and Galu play such a huge role in the development of the whole individual and not just from a football standpoint. 2 of MyBoy’s are presently on their D1 White roster and I also have another son who is playing high school ball that also came through the Sabers organization. I’m experiencing first hand how impactful the Tagovailoa’s are in the growth of these young men and I commend them for all that they have done and continue to do for these families (us included) and their communities!
appreciate the promotion and commendation, cause this league surely deserves! Just wanted to point out that, more than half of Waianae’s Varsity squad came from the JPS! Kana’i Mauga, Brandon Hatori, Jonah Maga, Josiah Viliamu, Micah Atuatasi, Dane Evangelista, and the list goes on!!!
