Our 7 v 7 Touch Passing Football League is non contact, fast paced version of traditional football that focuses on skill development, teamwork, and game awareness. Designed for players who want to sharpen their offensive and defensive abilities in the off season, this format eliminates linemen and tackling, putting the spotlight on quarterbacks, receivers and defensive backs.
Games are played on a smaller field with a running clock to keep the tempo high and the action continuous. No running plays are allowed. Every down is a passing play, encouraging athletes to develop their timing, route running, coverage techniques, and overall football IQ
This league is perfect for players looking to:
- Improve passing, catching, and defensive coverage skills
- Enhance communication and chemistry with teammates
- Compete in a safe, controlled, and fun environment
