7-on-7 is a fun, competitive, non-contact method of playing football. The offense consists primarily of passing plays, with running only allowed on 3rd and 4th downs. The intent of 7-on-7 is to help develop the skills associated with passing, catching, and running routes on offense and coverage on defense. 7-on-7 is played on a 40 minute running clock without pads and receivers are downed with one-hand touch, there are no flags involved.
