We are excited to announce the first annual Cardinal Football Middle School 7-on-7 Summer League + Tournament! Mark your calendars for the four Sundays in July and join us for a fun & competitive summer full of football. If you are interested in registering your team, please use this form to sign up. Once we have a better idea of how many teams are committed to playing, we will publish the league schedule. Registration will close on

Games will be played on the four Sunday mornings in July (7/7, 7/14, 7/21, and 7/28) between 8am-12pm, using modified TAPPS 7-on-7 rules (attached). We will have two separate divisions, one for 5th-6th graders, and one for 7th-8th graders. The first three Sundays of the league schedule will be considered "Pool" play and will determine seeding, while the final Sunday of the league schedule will be a "Bracket" style elimination tournament to determine the 5th-6th Grade champions and the 7th-8th Grade champions.

Here's the bullet points on league play:

• Simplified 7v7 design, 1-hand touch rules, fast paced & exciting!
• Quick games, plenty of chances to compete and improve!
• Open to all athletes, boys and girls, no previous football experience required!
• Cost to register is $200 per team ($10 per player, 20 players per team)
• Winning teams take home individual & team trophies at the end of the season
• All players will take home a Cardinal Football t-shirt after the tournament
• Teams provide their own jerseys (white + dark), mouthguards, and cleats
• JPII provides game footballs, softshell helmets (optional), and water
