7 on 7 Tournaments:

7 on 7 is essentially organized 2 hand touch football for our skill position players. Linemen do NOT need to attend (unless they are centers and have been asked to do so)! It is a GREAT way to transition from flag football to tackle football!

Must have valid 2023/2024 OR 2024/2025 VHSL Physical on File AND have signed waiver for EACH tournament. Waiver must be signed by parent and turned in via either scanning and email OR in person. WE WILL TRY TO WEAR HELMETS!
