CYFA Spring 7v7 Football
7v7 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 7v7 is to help develop the skills associated with passing, catching, and running routes on offense and coverage on defense. 7v7 is played on a 40 minute running clock without pads and receivers are downed with one-hand touch (there are no flags involved).
The CYFA plays Spring season starting mid-March through the end of April. The North Texas Football League will schedule each team to play two games on Sunday afternoons. K/1 and 2nd will be played at Northwest Old Texan Field and Coppell's Lesley Field. 3rd thru 6th at Medlin Middle School and Byron Nelson in Trophy Club. In the event that games are cancelled, a makeup day weekend is reserved prior to the Championship weekend..
Teams consist of a minimum of 10 kids who are 5 years old - 6th grade. Your player will be drafted to a team by their division coach. Your team’s coach will communicate the practice schedule. Once your child's team is formed your Coach will communicate the practice schedule.
Additional Game Information:
Teams shall play two 20 minute halves with a 5 minute half time in between. The clock shall not stop at anytime during the 20 minute half. There are no time outs unless game is halted due to an injured player being safely removed from the field. Injuries will be notified through the NTFL field monitors and all active games will be temporarily halted to allow for timeout. Your NTFL field monitor will notify teams once games shall resume. All games shall start and end at the same time. Teams will be given 15 minutes to move fields in between time to allow for travel to next playing field. In the event that a team is late; the tardy team shall be penalized 7 points and will play with whatever time if left on the tournament clock. A forfeit will occur 10 minutes into the 1st half. Two referees will be present to monitor the passing clock, game scores and act as field judge.
