7v7 Football at FRC is a fantastic developmental program designed for youth players to enhance

their skills and understanding of the game while minimizing the risk associated with tackle football. All local varsity teams participate, making FRC a premier platform for learning and competition. The FRC 7v7 league provides the highest level of competition, fostering teamwork, strategy, and athletic growth- yet it remains much more than a game. 7v7 football unites people. promotes pride in our community and builds an extended family. It is a movement that not only looks to teach lifelong lessons, such as teamwork, leadership, responsibility and perseverance, but it also teaches the value of sacrifice and discipline while adding the benefit of physical activity.

Player safety, player education and player development are the three main areas that we design our program to focus on. Your child will learn proper techniques for all skill positions such as a basic route tree (slants, outs, go routes, wheel routes etc.) on offense. Quarterbacks will learn how to progress through reads and learn to read defensive pass coverages. On defense, your child will learn pass coverage techniques and schematics such as “Man to Man” and “Zone Coverages”.

The social, emotional, mental and physical benefits of youth 7v7 football far outweigh any potential minimal risk of injury during play. Being part of youth football is meaningful in many ways. Youth football is made up of selfless volunteers who give of themselves to be a teacher, mentor and role model to instill confidence, self-discipline and teamwork to shape our youth.

Youth football increases self-esteem and lowers levels of depression by allowing children to have an outlet from daily rigors, not to mention the friendships and bonds which tie these youngsters for the rest of their lives.
