it never stops. club teams. travel. Most high schools have an

affiliated club team where kids play all year round until they move up to HS. If you didn't play with the youth club team before HS you're looked at as a 2nd class citizen. When the club team is on a short hiatus they play flag 7v7 to stay in shape. It's a 12 month commitment.

It isn't cheap either.

Does football have the same issues as other youth sports/club sports?

Yup, 7v7 started shortly after the football season ended for us.

not really, I am not aware of any football "clubs" that require anywhere near

Our showcase, 7v7 and camps are a lot more expensive than other sports for us.

Got it. Different where we are, football has been more expensive.

Yep - we have these teams reach out starting last year.

No offense, but the spring football league is what a couple volley ball tryouts

I respectfully disagree.

here in Vegas, youth football is crazy.

Crazy in what way? Year round, pricing, hitting year round....what?

The club team hits year round?

My youngest played Fall & Spring football until 9th grade.

Wow, that is a lot of hitting. We passed on spring contact football and national tournament spring teams.

This was almost a decade ago... 7v7 teams hadn't started up..

Makes sense, especially being X weight.

Yes. 7 on 7 is VERY profitable!

1/25/23 2:32pm

Seems like wasting time/money in 7v7 circuits is the least justifiable expense

Our HS Coach says that it takes 3 weeks for quarterbacks to break all the bad…

It's probably the worst for the QBs, for sure. Helpful for the WRs. In between

Coaches say they hate it but then offer kids without ever seeing them play real

And it has a lot to do with whether or not you are 6'+ by 8th grade

fattycoug

Which is in part why we have 15 year old 8th graders.
