The Use and Value of 7on7

7 on 7 is a very popular summer program for many of our football teams to participate in. Some people argue its value because of the lack of linemen and a running game, for example. I believe that anytime you bring kids together to work on your plays, and get better at doing their job that it is something valuable to the team. When you introduce the competition of another team, a district league, or a state-wide tournament you have increased its value. I believe 7on7 works and has become a valuable phase of the season for our skill kids to develop that working relationship with each other continue to compete year round. Skills+Competition+Success = Good….its easy math to me.
