7 on 7

[2Rings]

I just wanted to know what 7 on 7 meant to some of you. Seriously, can you judge how a team will do during the season based on their performances in 7 on 7?? I guess what I want is the pros and cons of it.. Just looking for other thoughts ont the subject...

the only con is injury or possibly losing attitude because of not winnng..

It's good summer practice for passing offense and defense. As already mentioned, injuries are the only downside I see.

While it does not really translate to what will happen in the fall, I believe it helps those who participate. (although it would be pointless for a run only offense)

Great exercise.

Well, apparently many teams (not all) that do well in 7-on-7 also do well in the fall. At least that's what the coaches cited in this article believe: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nb/sports/hs/topstories/4942271.html

i also looked into this last year and if i remember right, at least one team hat made a championship game went to at least the quarterfinals in the fall.

Without actually doing a statistical analysis (which I probably would find interesting to do), I suspect that there is a positive correlation between participating in 7 on 7 and success in the Fall. I would also anticipate a positive correlation between success in 7 on 7 and success in the Fall. However in the later case, I would guess that the correlation coefficeints would be far less strong. But also note that I am just talking correlation here, not necessarily causation.
