7 on 7 Football
Registrations for the 2026 Spring Season open December 1st at 9AM!
Youth 7v7 football is an excellent way for young players to develop and refine their football skills in a competitive, fast-paced, and relatively safe environment. It promotes skill development in passing, receiving, and coverage while minimizing the risks associated with full-contact football. With its emphasis on speed, strategy, and execution, it can help young athletes prepare for higher levels of competition as they progress in their football careers.
Benefits of 7 on 7 Football
1. Skill Development - Players enhance their passing, catching, and defensive skills in a fast-paced, competitive environment.
2. Improved Decision Making - With fewer players on the field, participants learn to make quicker decisions and adapt to various game situations.
3. Teamwork and Communication - 7 on 7 fosters teamwork and communication as players work together to execute plays and defend against opponents.
4. Physical Fitness - Engaging in regular football activities contributes to improved physical fitness, including endurance, agility, and strength.
5. Game Strategy - Participants gain a deeper understanding of offensive and defensive strategies, helping them become more versatile athletes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documentation is required to sign up?
You will need to provide a copy of your player's birth certificate.
What team will my child play on?
Teams are assigned based on age (as of 7/31/2026). If you have a team or coach preference, you will be given the opportunity to provide your preference during registration. If you do not have a team or coach preference, your player will be assigned to an available team closest to your home address.
When will I hear from my child's coach?
Expect to hear from the coach in early March.
What if the team in my area does not have enough players?
If a team fails to meet the minimum required players to safely participate, those players will be assigned to another team that is below the maximum. We will strive to keep players as close to their home boundary as we can.
What if the team in my area is full?
Once a team reaches the maximum number of players, players will begin to be assigned to an overflow team in that area. If the overflow team does not meet the minimum number of players required, they will be combined with another team that has not reached the maximum. See What if the team in my area does not have enough players?
