HYPAELITE Dominates Inaugural National Rankings
Five HYPAELITE athletes earned spots on the first-ever MaxPreps Top 100 National Rankings for girls flag football, with Amaya Moreno claiming the #1 position. The rankings represent the sport’s first standardized national player evaluation system.
The complete HYPAELITE representation includes Moreno at #1, Becky Currence at #10, Claire McMahon at #19, Jaiya Davis at #48, and Isa Ady at #56. This concentration of top-100 talent on a single roster reflects both individual skill development and program-wide competitive success.
Evainia Maas, just a freshman, was a participant in the USA Select Bowl process. Matilda Lister, a 4.0 student who embodies the culture we value, has already visited prestigious programs such as Stanford and USC
“Being ranked the #1 girls flag football player in the country, and playing alongside four other nationally ranked teammates is something I’m incredibly proud of,” said Moreno, crediting her teammates, coaches, and partners for the achievement.
Championship Success Across Multiple Competitions
HYPAELITE completed a dominant 2025 season by winning three major championships. The program captured the Jr. Olympics Gold Medal in Houston, took National Championships in both 5v5 and 7v7 formats in Ohio, and earned the FFL Championship.
This championship collection spans different competitive formats and geographic regions, demonstrating the program’s adaptability across various flag football structures. The Ohio-based National Championships particularly highlight the program’s success in traditional tournament settings.
The competitive results provide concrete validation for the development methods that produced five top-100 ranked players. Each championship required different tactical approaches and roster management across various competition formats.
Professional Infrastructure Drives Program Development
Riczer Desvaristes founded HYPAELITE through his sports marketing firm Hypamark, bringing NFL-level organizational experience to youth flag football. His background includes leadership roles with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns, and LA Chargers, plus partnerships with Gatorade and PepsiCo.
This professional infrastructure extends beyond coaching to include national competition exposure, NIL education exploration, and college recruitment pathways. The systematic approach reflects industry-standard athlete development practices adapted for emerging women’s sports.
Donald Parham, tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers served as an ambassador for the team, he even joined HYPAELITE at the Junior Olympics, inspiring athletes with his presence and support.
“I truly loved my experience with HypaElite! I’m so blessed to have built such strong bonds with all of those amazing girls and to be part of such an incredible team,” said Becky Currence, the #10 ranked player nationally.
Team Culture Emphasis Shapes Individual Success
Multiple players highlighted the program’s emphasis on team culture alongside competitive achievement. Jaiya Davis, ranked #48 nationally, described how coaches and teammates supported her return after a minor setback, demonstrating the program’s approach to long-term athlete development.
“After a minor setback, my coaches and teammates welcomed me back with open arms, showing just how supportive this team is,” Davis explained. The culture extends beyond competition to create what players consistently describe as a family environment.
This cultural foundation appears central to both individual player development and collective championship success. The combination of professional infrastructure and supportive team environment creates conditions for sustained competitive excellence.
Strategic Implications for Girls Flag Football Development
HYPAELITE’s success demonstrates how professional sports infrastructure can accelerate development in emerging youth sports markets. The program’s multiple championship wins and dominant national rankings representation suggest a scalable model for elite-level girls flag football development.
The MaxPreps rankings introduction signals growing institutional support for girls flag football evaluation and recruitment. This standardization creates clearer pathways for elite athletes while establishing benchmarks for program development across the sport.
The combination of championship results, national rankings success, and professional organizational structure positions HYPAELITE as a case study for building elite-level programs in developing women’s sports markets.
