Development and exposure

25.05.13

It was an event bred out of necessity. Football players needed something more than 10 games a season.

Soccer players had travel leagues. Basketball players had AAU. Baseball players had summer and fall leagues.

But what did football players have? They couldn't hit all year round. So the 7-on-7 passing league was born, and in a short period of time, it has become necessary.

In Texas, where the high school coaches organize school teams to be run by fathers and high schools play against each other without any out-of-state competition, the sport is considered necessary for players' skill development.

On muggy Texas summer days, many a high school quarterback can be found as the mouthpiece of a coaching staff, calling the plays under coaches' watchful eyes. They'll decide if he's fit to be the next Andrew Luck , Robert Griffin III or Matthew Stafford -- all Lone Star products who have attributed some of their development to Texas 7-on-7 football.

"If you're doing 7-on-7, that means you're doing something in the summer for your kids, and that's great," said Dick Olin, often considered the founder of Texas 7-on-7. "That's why we did it. We had our center snap the ball, we had our running backs, our receivers, our quarterback. We worked our defense, we worked our offense all summer."
