7 On 7 Football -- Asking The Masses

Longhorn (Struggling) QB David Ash Back At A 7 On 7 Tourney

I saw a post on Facebook the other day of a Wise County mother complaining of how much running and conditioning her son was going through for 7 on 7 football.  It dawned on me then that I really know nothing about it other than (1) it's no contact, (2) it's great for quarterbacks and receivers, and (3) it is supposed to be completely separate from high school coaches.

But I wonder if there's a seedy underside to it.

But for those of you familiar with it:

  • Who coaches these teams?
  • How many would Bridgeport or Decatur have? 
  • Who decides who gets on each team?
  • Are high school coaches completely detached from this thing?
  • Is there a cost?
Let me hear from you.
